![Architecture and workflow of AstroGenesis. Researchers interact with the system through a chatbot interface and select an appropriate DSRM corresponding to the astrophysical source class under investigation. Within the selected DSRM, a Supervisor Agent coordinates task execution through a Planner/Replanner and a set of specialized agents responsible for literature analysis, observational data retrieval, theoretical modeling, and research ideation. These agents operate using external tools which include, astrophysical tools, data-analysis modules, and pre-trained models to perform modeling of the data, etc. -- [astro-ph.IM]](https://i0.wp.com/astrobiology.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/AstroGenesis.png?resize=1200%2C722&ssl=1)
