What PaperVizAgent is
PaperVizAgent is not a general-purpose chatbot. It is a visualization workflow for research figures, with emphasis on study context, figure intent, panel logic, chart clarity, and downstream export use.

PaperVizAgent for research figure planning
PaperVizAgent is the visualization agent that powers PaperBanana. It reads study context, extracts visual structure, plans panels and labels, applies academic layout rules, and helps produce figure drafts for papers, posters, grant decks, and technical presentations.
Direct answer
PaperVizAgent makes figure generation more inspectable by splitting the process into source reading, planning, styling, rendering, and review.
Why agent structure matters
Academic figures often fail when visual layout is separated from source meaning. PaperVizAgent keeps the source brief connected to the draft so labels, sequence, and hierarchy can be reviewed before final production.
How it connects to PaperBanana
PaperBanana is the user-facing workspace. PaperVizAgent is the agent workflow inside it, handling reading, planning, styling, rendering, and review decisions for academic figure drafts.
Five passes make review more specific
Reading identifies the study context; planning maps panels and relationships; styling sets the visual hierarchy; rendering produces a draft; and review checks whether the draft still communicates the intended research message. Separating these passes gives researchers concrete questions to ask at each stage instead of treating the result as an unexplained image.
What PaperVizAgent does not decide
The workflow can organize a figure brief, but it cannot establish scientific truth or publication compliance. Authors remain responsible for source accuracy, data values, labels, citations, permissions, accessibility, and any disclosure or formatting rules of the target venue.
How to use it
- 01Read the research context and identify visual entities.
- 02Plan the figure type, panel sequence, and label hierarchy.
- 03Apply restrained academic styling for diagrams or charts.
- 04Review semantic fit and surface a draft for export or iteration.
