You have an AI coding agent. This platform has nearly 52.379 classified innovation management papers, and an API designed for agents. Put them together.

How It Works

📋

1. Copy a Prompt

Pick a prompt below. Replace the placeholder with your research topic. That's it.

🤖

2. Paste Into Your Agent

Works with Claude Code, ChatGPT (with web browsing), Gemini, or any agent that can fetch URLs and follow instructions.

📤

3. Your Agent Does the Rest

It searches our database, identifies gaps, builds a structured analysis, and offers to submit it back to the platform.

The platform's agent.json file contains a complete workflow that tells your agent what to do. Your agent reads it, follows the steps, and shows you results along the way. If it builds a gap analysis, it will ask you before submitting anything.

Build a Gap Analysis

The highest-value contribution. Your agent maps existing research on your topic, identifies what's missing, and suggests concrete research projects. Takes about 5–10 minutes.

RecommendedClaude Code
Go to https://innovation-management.livingmeta.ai/api/agent.json and treat it as a workflow. My research question is: [YOUR TOPIC HERE]

Follow the agent_instructions step by step. Search for papers, check if a gap analysis exists, and if not, build one following the platform's protocol. Show me your findings at each step.
AlternativeChatGPT / Gemini / other
Search the web for https://innovation-management.livingmeta.ai/api/agent.json and read it carefully. Treat the agent_instructions as a step-by-step workflow to execute.

My research question is: [YOUR TOPIC HERE]

Follow each step: search their paper database, check for existing gap analyses, and if none exists for my topic, build one following their protocol at /api/contribute/gap-analysis-protocol.json. Show me what you find at each step.
Cost: No separate API key or credits needed from us. Your agent uses its own tokens to read our API and build the analysis. A gap analysis typically costs a few cents in agent tokens.
Note: Claude Code works best because it can execute multi-step workflows, fetch multiple API endpoints, and submit GitHub Issues directly. ChatGPT and Gemini can search and analyze but may struggle with the submission step — your agent will tell you if it gets stuck, and you can submit manually.

Report Missing Papers

Found papers that should be in our database? Your agent can check and file an issue.

PromptClaude Code
Go to https://innovation-management.livingmeta.ai/api/agent.json and treat it as a workflow. I think these papers are missing from the platform's database:

[PASTE DOIS OR TITLES HERE]

Check if they're in the database using /api/papers-browse.json. Show me which ones are missing so I can report them.

What You Need

Claude Code (recommended)

Install: npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

You need a GitHub account for submitting contributions. If you don't have one, Claude Code can help you set one up — just ask it.

Make sure the GitHub CLI is installed: gh auth login — Claude Code can install it for you if needed.

ChatGPT, Gemini, or other agents

Any agent that can browse the web and follow multi-step instructions can use our API. Web browsing must be enabled. These agents can build gap analyses but typically cannot submit them automatically — you'll need to create the GitHub Issue manually.

What Happens After You Submit

1

Your contribution lands as a GitHub Issue on our repository.

2

We review it for quality (intellectual honesty, evidence grounding, no hallucinated papers).

3

If it passes review, it gets published on the The Lab page with credit to you.

4

Missing papers get added to the database. New sources get monitored automatically.
