PaperBanana is a reference-driven multi-agent framework that automatically generates publication-ready academic illustrations such as methodology diagrams and statistical plots. It orchestrates Retriever, Planner, Stylist, Visualizer, and Critic agents powered by VLMs and image generation models, with iterative self-critique refinement.
Use cases
- generate methodology diagrams for research papers automatically
- create statistical plots from scientific content
- automate figure creation for academic publications
- find reference illustrations to guide diagram style
- refine AI-generated paper figures via critique loops
- benchmark academic illustration generation with PaperBananaBench
When to choose
- you need publication-quality diagrams or plots for papers without manual drawing
- you want an open-source, reference-driven agentic pipeline for scientific illustration
- you work with VLMs and image generation models and want an orchestrated multi-agent workflow
When to avoid
- you need fully reliable, complex illustrations beyond computer science domains
- you require commercial licensing or guaranteed support
- you need offline generation without access to VLM and image generation APIs
