Google Research introduces two AI agents, PaperVizAgent for generating academic figures and ScholarPeer for automated peer review, both outperforming existing baselines.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://research.google/blog/improving-the-academic-workflow-introducing-two-ai-agents-for-better-figures-and-peer-review/:

> To that end, we introduce two novel agentic frameworks: (i) PaperVizAgent (formally known as PaperBanana), a visualizer agent for drawing academic figures, and (ii) ScholarPeer, a reviewer agent that automatically and rigorously evaluates academic papers, including inlined diagrams).
