AutoResearchClaw lets you turn ideas into research papers automatically. It handles research tasks without any setup or coding. This guide helps you get the software running on your Windows PC quickly and simply.
AutoResearchClaw is a tool that takes your research idea and creates a draft paper. It uses smart technology to find relevant information, check citations, and build a well-structured draft. You do not need to write or verify facts—you only give your idea.
The software is designed for people who want a smooth research process. It can:
- Convert an idea into a written paper outline.
- Verify citations for accuracy.
- Organize research into sections.
- Update and improve the paper over time.
It is self-contained. You use it by downloading the app and running it. No extra installation or technical steps needed.
Make sure your computer meets these basic specs before installing:
- Windows 10 or later (64-bit)
- At least 8 GB RAM
- 2 GHz dual-core processor or better

No additional software is required to run AutoResearchClaw.

To keep the software current:
- Visit the releases page regularly:
https://github.com/thada2402/AutoResearchClaw/releases - Download the latest version using the same method as the first time.
- Run the new installer. It will update your existing files without losing your data.

AutoResearchClaw saves project data in a folder inside your Documents directory called AutoResearchClawProjects.
- Each idea and paper is saved as its own folder.
- Draft text is stored as plain files editable outside the app.
- Citation reports are saved alongside paper drafts.
You can back up this folder or move it if needed. The app will still work as long as you keep the files in one place.
AutoResearchClaw only sends what is needed to connected services for citation checking. Your ideas and drafts stay private on your PC by default. Information sharing happens only when you ask for paper verification or external data retrieval.
You can use the app offline for drafting, but some features will be limited without internet access.

The program is designed to work without technical knowledge, but help is available when needed.
