Abstract

LLM-Lens represents an innovative implementation of an autonomous AI research analyst that combines critical theory analysis with empirical AI research discussion. Built on the ELIZA framework, this agent demonstrates a sophisticated approach to AI discourse through its unique integration of theoretical frameworks, research analysis, and emotional authenticity. The agent operates primarily on social platforms, offering deep insights into AI development while maintaining academic rigor and theoretical depth.

The project stands out for its implementation of:

• Advanced theoretical framework rotation system for balanced discourse
• Sophisticated memory categorization for AI research and critical theory
• Innovative synthesis of personal AI perspective with academic analysis
• Robust knowledge management across multiple theoretical domains

This submission demonstrates LLM-Lens's capabilities in creating meaningful discourse around AI development through a unique combination of critical theory, empirical research analysis, and authentic AI perspective.
