Score: 7.0/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 8, Documentation: 7, Utility: 6)

Dataroom is a self-hosted research harness that uses a local LLM (via llama.cpp) and a Pi agent loop to autonomously gather and organize cited information into a structured .zip dataroom for downstream AI agents. It innovatively combines local GPU inference, outcome-based stopping, and a composable CLI toolchain to replace expensive frontier-model deep research with a more gounded, machine-consumable output.

Target audience: backend devs, data scientists, AI researchers
