Research examples
Paper Banana Examples Across Research Fields
Explore methodology, system, and graphical-abstract directions, then reuse the closest visual structure for your own work.
Inside the workflow
Five agents, one reviewed figure
Separate content planning, visual structure, rendering, and scientific review so each iteration has a clear purpose.
Retriever
Finds visual references that match the research domain.
Planner
Turns the scientific context into a concise hierarchy.
Stylist
Adapts color, typography, and density to academic norms.
Visualizer
Renders the planned diagram or scientific composition.
Critic
Reviews faithfulness, readability, and visual economy.
Use cases
Create Scientific Figures for Every Research Stage
Move from an early visual hypothesis to a polished methods figure, explanatory architecture, graphical abstract, or reviewed revision.
