Could you build this?
Partial The chat UI, LaTeX editing, and code execution are buildable, and retrieval-augmented answers with citations can be assembled from existing APIs. The hard piece is a large, well-indexed paper corpus and knowledge graph, plus accurate citation grounding.
What it would actually take: Build a web app with a RAG pipeline over a paper index, such as Semantic Scholar or OpenAlex data, using a vector database and an LLM with citation tracking. Code execution needs sandboxed containers, and the LaTeX agent needs a compiler and diff-based editing. The hard parts are ingesting and maintaining a large, deduplicated corpus, a knowledge graph of papers and people, and reliable citation accuracy, which require data-engineering and ML-retrieval expertise.
