Florist is an ideation suite for the stage before a project exists. Research agents like OpenResearch or Co-Scientist assume you come ready with a good research or project idea in mind, without putting resources into helping you build out that one spark in your mind or the list of project prototypes that have been sitting in your backlog. Florist helps you expand upon those ideas, make sure that you are getting the most out of your projects and ensures that your project’s scope is matched with the resources and expertise you have. It pulls inspiration from alphaXiv, arXiv, HuggingFace, GitHub, Hacker News, Youtube, and much more into one feed ranked against your technical interests, keeping what you can’t commit to in a “compost”, and pulling what you find the most interesting into ideation chats and “seed” projects. When an idea is worth pursuing, Florist creates a seed from that idea, personalized to your schedule and resource constraints and personal interests. It then passively or actively searches real papers and repositories, proposed directions, checks hypotheses for novelty against the closest existing work, and gives you a summary on techniques to try and how feasible your project is. You can leave an idea to sit overnight, and in the morning, Florist will be done drawing visual explainers, writing handoffs, compiling sources, and running smoke tests to ensure that your idea is able to bloom into a flower. You can then pick this flower, turning it into a handoff pack: an OpenResearch ready repository, a detailed build plan, or instructions for your coding agent that will let you dive straight into the “making” stage of your project or research. Florist also learns your taste from what you save and dismiss, runs locally, and works from a desktop app, the terminal, or a coding agent.
