Building an AI Research Assistant with LLM Tool Calling
Building an AI Research Assistant with LLM Tool Calling Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized how we interact with artificial intelligence, but their true power is unlocked when they can use external tools. In this tutorial, we'll build a practical AI research assistant that helps students search and summarize academic papers from arXiv using Python and Ollama's LLM with tool-calling capabilities. 📁 Full Project Repository You can access the complete source code for this project on GitLab: AI Research Companion Repository What We're Building Our chatbot will serve as an intelligent research companion capable of searching arXiv—an open-access repository for scholarly preprints in fields like physics, mathematics, computer science, and economics. The assistant will not only find relevant papers but also extract and summarize detailed info...
