Open source implementation and extension of Google Research’s PaperBanana for automated academic figures, diagrams, and research visuals, expanded to new domains like slide generation.
PaperBanana is an open-source tool that generates academic diagrams, statistical plots, and other research illustrations from text descriptions. Researchers can use it through a command-line interface, Python API, local web interface, or MCP server, while the catalogue add-ons support agent-driven use.
