Two Paired Paper Agents Flagged ADHD Genetic Variant; No Human Had Noticed

Stanford researchers presented Paper2Agent, a system that turns static scientific papers into callable AI agents via MCP servers in 45 minutes at a cost of $14. The system validates tools against known outputs to avoid code hallucinations. Two linked agents discovered an unregistered genetic variant associated with ADHD that humans had missed.
