Google Research is developing new AI agents to enhance academic workflows and data generation. PaperVizAgent and ScholarPeer aim to automate figure creation and peer review, while the Simula framework generates synthetic datasets for AI training. Separately, AI tools like Viktor are being integrated into platforms like Slack to boost productivity by automating tasks and generating reports. However, the integration of tools and memory into AI agents also expands their security surface, introducing new attack vectors. AI
