ResearchStudio
ResearchStudio: Our AI co-author, from research problem to final publication.
ResearchStudio is a comprehensive Claude Code plugin suite developed by Microsoft that automates the complete academic research lifecycle, from initial concept exploration to final publication deliverables. It comprises two main components: ResearchStudio-Idea transforms vague research directions into reviewer-defensible, implementable idea cards grounded in empirical taxonomies from major ML conferences, and ResearchStudio-Reel converts finished papers into professional artifacts including posters, narrated videos, bilingual blog posts, and interactive reel viewers. The plugin suite integrates with Claude Code and Codex, requiring model versions claude-opus-4.6 or gpt-5.5 or higher for optimal performance.
