The authors assigned agentic systems the central questions of two unpublished NeurIPS submissions. For six days, the agents could use the web, compute and an API budget while independently implementing, experimenting and writing.

The results separate execution from scientific judgement. The systems produced complete artefacts, but reviewers identified weak designs, difficulty recognising dead ends and poor strategic adaptation when the initial approach failed.

In nutraceutical workflows, agents can accelerate literature triage, data extraction, comparisons and protocol preparation. Stop criteria, source audits, specialist review and experimental validation must still be designed before automation.

Why it matters

For nutraceutical R&D, the credible model remains assisted work: AI for searching, structuring and comparing; experts for hypotheses, verification and decisions.

Evidence limit

A preprint based on two AI-research cases. It does not directly measure nutraceutical laboratories or represent every model and agent configuration.
