Looking to get involved early in the GSoC 2026 AI project

New to AiiDA

Hi everyone :waving_hand:
I’m Ashish Mahajan, a GSoC 2025 contributor with NumFOCUS, and I’m very interested in the GSoC 2026 project on a natural language interface for AiiDA using multi-agent AI. I have experience with NLP, deep learning, RAG, and LLM-based agent systems, and I’m currently exploring the AiiDA codebase and documentation.

I wanted to ask for some guidance on how to get involved early in a meaningful way:

  • Is there a Discord (or similar) channel where ideas and early architectural designs for this project are discussed?

  • Are there any existing discussions or design explorations around agent architectures, MCP/tool integration, or NL interfaces that would be useful to follow or contribute to?

I’d be happy to start with design discussions, small exploratory prototypes, or anything else that would be most helpful at this stage. Looking forward to learning and engaging with the community!

Hi @Ashish_Mahajan,

Thanks for reaching out, and sorry for the very slow reply. Great that you are exploring the code and docs already, and that you have relevant experience, as well! You have probably seen the official thread for GSoC 2026. We still have to agree internally how to proceed now, and how exactly to evaluate the candidates. I will provide updates in the official thread, but we have noted your interest, of course. Cheers!
