AstroCoder includes a chatbot with a search assistant and a coding agent that autonomously investigates 5-10 relevant code files before answering your queries.

AstroCoder tackles two problems:
1. Making niche astronomy software more easily discoverable and usable
2. Letting the astronomy community evaluate if current AI can properly use the tools astronomers rely on

AI's rapidly improving coding capabilities hint at automated research assistants arriving in the near-future. To prepare, we built AstroCoder: an AI-based tool for discovering & using niche astronomy software from 2,270 repos. nolank.ca/astrocoder
