Research
Our research focuses on building grounded AI systems that enable users to interact through natural language with digital and physical environments. We develop AI agents that translate language and perception into executable code and actions, empowering people to perform data science, control computers, and collaborate with robots. Our work spans three core areas: code generation for data science, grounding language in the digital world, and grounding language in the physical world.
