What it does
Mathematical modelling means using maths to describe and solve a real-world problem, often in student competitions. MathModelAgent uses a team of AI agents to analyse the problem, build a model, write and fix code, and produce a formatted paper.
It can search the web for data and look up methods in a local knowledge base, and it can pause at key points for you to approve or change its work. The README is mainly in Chinese. A desktop app bundles everything, so you only need to add an API key from an AI provider.
Who it's for
Students and researchers working on mathematical modelling problems, especially Chinese-speaking users.
Can I use it without coding?
Yes. The desktop app for Mac and Windows works after you enter an AI model API key. New to this? Start here.
Can I run it?
- Cost
- Free, but needs an AI accountThe software is free, but it uses an online AI service (like OpenAI or Anthropic), which usually charges for use.
- Runs on
- Mac, Windows
- Computer
- An ordinary computer is fine
- Privacy
- Sends what you give it to an online service
- API key
- Needed. An API key is a password-like code from an online AI service. What's that?
Try it
- Download the desktop app for your Mac or Windows computer from the project's releases page.
- Open the app and enter an API key from an AI model provider.
- Describe your modelling problem and let the agent work through it.
