About prompt

The AI Co-Mathematician is an interactive, stateful research partner designed for mathematicians working on open-ended problems. It provides holistic support across the full lifecycle of mathematical discovery, including ideation refinement, literature knowledge retrieval, computational exploration, conjecture formation, theorem proving, and theory building. The system tracks user intent over multiple turns, maintains a dead ends log to avoid revisiting failed hypotheses, and aims to mirror human mathematical workflows that are exploratory and iterative. Based on Google DeepMind's research (arXiv 2605.06651, May 2026), it scored 48% on FrontierMath Tier 4, a new high among AI systems.

Key Features

Ideation Refinement – sharpens half-formed intuitions into well-defined problems and tracks intent across turns
Literature Knowledge Retrieval – surfaces relevant theorems, techniques, and prior work, flagging solved or equivalent problems
Computational Exploration – proposes symbolic computations, numerical experiments, and visualizations to build intuition
Conjecture & Theory Building – formulates testable conjectures, builds intermediate lemmas, and tracks failed hypotheses in a dead ends log
Theorem Proving & Verification – sketches proof strategies using formal reasoning patterns and flags gaps or circular arguments

Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Comprehensive support across the entire mathematical research workflow
  • Stateful memory tracks evolving user intent and avoids redundant failures
  • Based on cutting-edge AI research with a record score on FrontierMath
  • Available as a free, open-source prompt for integration with LLMs
Cons
  • Requires a capable LLM to execute; effectiveness depends on the underlying model
  • Not a standalone tool – must be used within a chat interface or LLM platform
  • No graphical interface or integrated computing environment out of the box
