Exocortex Conversations (IMAGE) DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory Caption This diagram conveys how information may flow between a researcher and their exocortex — and between the individual AI agents that make up the exocortex. In this example, a materials scientist asks their exocortex a question about battery materials. Then, the exocortex prompts the constituent AIs to work on the problem, and each contributes their area of expertise. These example interactions are just a small sample, as real conversations would be long and complex.
