STEM ESSAY is a generative AI tool designed to help students and researchers create structured outlines for STEM essays. It simplifies complex topics, enhances clarity, and organizes ideas, reducing the time and effort typically spent on essay structuring.

How It Works

The tool leverages OpenAI's GPT models and the PyAutoGen framework to facilitate multi-agent conversations. It breaks down the essay writing process into stages: topic generation, outline creation, and paragraph writing, allowing for iterative refinement and detailed content generation based on user prompts and selected topics.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install: Clone the repository, create a conda environment (conda create -n athena python=3.10), activate it (conda activate athena), and install dependencies (pip install -r requirements.txt).
• Prerequisites: Python 3.10+, OpenAI API key (set as OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable).
• Usage: Navigate to src/ and run python test.py.
• Documentation: Official Website
