Captures and analyzes eye movement patterns (saccades, smooth pursuits, fixations, nystagmus) using infrared corneal reflection tracking at 60-250Hz sampling rates to quantify deviations from normative oculomotor baselines. The system applies machine learning classifiers trained on neurologically-healthy control populations to detect subclinical abnormalities in eye-movement kinematics that precede visible neurological symptoms, enabling detection of early-stage neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson's, cerebellar ataxia, and progressive supranuclear palsy before conventional clinical signs emerge.
Unique: Uses high-frequency infrared corneal reflection eye-tracking (60-250Hz) combined with machine learning classifiers trained on normative oculomotor baselines to detect subclinical neurological abnormalities invisible to human clinical observation, rather than relying on subjective bedside neurological examination or coarse video-based gaze estimation
vs alternatives: Detects neurological abnormalities 6-18 months earlier than conventional clinical exams by quantifying subtle oculomotor changes, whereas traditional neurological testing relies on observable motor/cognitive deficits that emerge only after significant neuronal loss
Stores baseline oculomotor metrics for individual patients and compares subsequent assessments against personalized baselines using statistical process control methods (e.g., exponentially-weighted moving average, control charts) to detect statistically-significant decline trajectories. The system generates alerts when oculomotor metrics deviate beyond patient-specific confidence intervals, enabling clinicians to quantify disease progression velocity and adjust therapeutic interventions based on objective biomarker trends rather than subjective symptom reports.
Unique: Applies statistical process control methods (control charts, EWMA) to individual patient baselines rather than population-level comparisons, enabling detection of patient-specific decline trajectories that may deviate from population norms due to genetic or disease heterogeneity
vs alternatives: Provides objective, quantified disease progression metrics superior to subjective clinical rating scales (MDS-UPDRS, MMSE) which suffer from inter-rater variability and floor/ceiling effects, enabling earlier detection of therapeutic response or disease acceleration
Integrates oculomotor metrics with optional supplementary neurological data (tremor accelerometry, gait kinematics, cognitive reaction times) into ensemble machine learning classifiers (random forests, gradient boosting, neural networks) trained on clinically-diagnosed patient cohorts to generate probabilistic diagnoses for specific neurological conditions. The system outputs condition-specific probability scores (e.g., 78% Parkinson's, 12% essential tremor, 10% other) with confidence intervals, enabling clinicians to rank differential diagnoses and prioritize confirmatory testing.
Unique: Combines oculomotor metrics with optional multimodal sensor data (tremor, gait, cognition) in ensemble classifiers trained on clinically-confirmed patient cohorts, rather than relying on single-modality biomarkers or population-level diagnostic criteria that lack individual patient specificity
vs alternatives: Provides probabilistic differential diagnoses superior to rule-based diagnostic criteria (e.g., UK Parkinson's Disease Society Brain Bank criteria) which are binary and lack confidence quantification, enabling clinicians to make risk-stratified decisions about confirmatory testing
Captures raw eye-gaze coordinates and pupil diameter from infrared corneal reflection eye-tracker hardware at 60-250Hz sampling rates, applies real-time preprocessing (blink detection, saccade detection via velocity thresholding, fixation clustering, outlier removal) to clean noisy tracking data, and streams preprocessed gaze events to downstream analysis pipelines. The system implements hardware-specific calibration routines (9-point or 13-point grid calibration) and validates tracking quality metrics (gaze accuracy, precision, data loss rate) before accepting data for clinical analysis.
Unique: Implements hardware-specific calibration and real-time preprocessing pipelines (blink detection, saccade detection, fixation clustering) optimized for clinical eye-tracking hardware, with quality assurance metrics that validate tracking fidelity before data enters clinical analysis workflows
vs alternatives: Provides clinical-grade eye-tracking data acquisition with real-time quality validation, superior to consumer-grade eye-tracking (e.g., webcam-based gaze estimation) which lacks hardware calibration, has 2-5x lower accuracy, and cannot reliably detect saccades or fixations
Implements standardized visual stimulus presentation sequences (fixation tasks, smooth pursuit tasks, saccadic tasks, optokinetic nystagmus tasks) with precise timing control and stimulus geometry to elicit reproducible oculomotor responses across patients and assessment sessions. The system presents calibrated visual targets at defined eccentricities and velocities, records stimulus timing metadata, and ensures consistent task execution across different clinical sites through protocol validation and technician training modules.
Unique: Implements standardized oculomotor testing protocols with precise stimulus timing control and geometry validation, ensuring reproducible task execution across patients, sessions, and clinical sites — critical for longitudinal tracking and multi-site clinical trials
vs alternatives: Provides protocol-driven stimulus presentation superior to ad-hoc bedside oculomotor testing, which lacks standardization, precise timing control, and reproducibility across assessments
Compares individual patient oculomotor metrics against age-stratified, ethnicity-stratified normative reference databases using z-score calculations to quantify deviation magnitude from healthy population norms. The system applies demographic-specific normalization (accounting for age-related oculomotor decline, sex differences, ethnic variation) and generates percentile ranks and confidence intervals around deviation scores, enabling clinicians to interpret whether observed oculomotor abnormalities are statistically significant or within normal variation.
Unique: Applies demographic-stratified normative comparison (age, ethnicity, sex) rather than single population-level norms, accounting for known oculomotor variation across demographic groups and reducing false-positive abnormality detection in normal ethnic variation
vs alternatives: Provides objective, quantified abnormality detection via z-scores superior to subjective clinical interpretation of oculomotor findings, which is prone to inter-rater variability and cognitive biases
Exports oculomotor assessment results (metrics, diagnoses, longitudinal trends) in standardized clinical report formats compatible with electronic health record systems, including structured data fields (FHIR-compatible observations) and human-readable narrative summaries. The system generates PDF reports suitable for clinician review and EHR import, with embedded visualizations (metric trends, diagnostic probability charts) and recommendations for follow-up testing or therapeutic intervention.
Unique: Generates standardized clinical reports with structured FHIR-compatible data export for EHR integration, rather than standalone reports disconnected from clinical workflows — enabling seamless integration of oculomotor biomarkers into existing clinical decision-making processes
vs alternatives: Provides EHR-integrated reporting superior to standalone assessment tools that generate isolated reports requiring manual data entry into EHR systems, reducing documentation burden and enabling longitudinal tracking within clinical workflows
Monitors eye-tracking data quality metrics in real-time (gaze accuracy, precision, data loss rate, tracking confidence) and flags assessment sessions with suboptimal data quality that may compromise diagnostic validity. The system implements automated quality checks (e.g., gaze accuracy >1.5 degrees triggers recalibration alert, data loss >10% triggers session rejection) and generates quality assurance reports documenting tracking performance and protocol compliance for each assessment session.
Unique: Implements real-time quality monitoring with automated alerts and session-level quality documentation, ensuring that only high-fidelity eye-tracking data enters clinical analysis pipelines — critical for diagnostic validity in clinical settings
vs alternatives: Provides automated quality assurance superior to manual quality review, which is subjective and prone to inconsistency across technicians and sites, enabling standardized data quality across multi-site clinical trials

Transforms natural language user requests into executable Python code snippets through a Planner role that decomposes tasks into sub-steps. The Planner uses LLM prompts (planner_prompt.yaml) to generate structured code rather than text-only plans, maintaining awareness of available plugins and code execution history. This approach preserves both chat history and code execution state (including in-memory DataFrames) across multiple interactions, enabling stateful multi-turn task orchestration.
Unique: Unlike traditional agent frameworks that only track text chat history, TaskWeaver's Planner preserves both chat history AND code execution history including in-memory data structures (DataFrames, variables), enabling true stateful multi-turn orchestration. The code-first approach treats Python as the primary communication medium rather than natural language, allowing complex data structures to be manipulated directly without serialization.
vs alternatives: Outperforms LangChain/LlamaIndex for data analytics because it maintains execution state across turns (not just context windows) and generates code that operates on live Python objects rather than string representations, reducing serialization overhead and enabling richer data manipulation.
Implements a role-based architecture where specialized agents (Planner, CodeInterpreter, External Roles like WebExplorer) communicate exclusively through the Planner as a central hub. Each role has a specific responsibility: the Planner orchestrates, CodeInterpreter generates/executes Python code, and External Roles handle domain-specific tasks. Communication flows through a message-passing system that ensures controlled conversation flow and prevents direct agent-to-agent coupling.
Unique: TaskWeaver enforces hub-and-spoke communication topology where all inter-agent communication flows through the Planner, preventing agent coupling and enabling centralized control. This differs from frameworks like AutoGen that allow direct agent-to-agent communication, trading flexibility for auditability and controlled coordination.
TaskWeaver scores higher at 45/100 vs NeuroClues at 31/100. NeuroClues leads on quality, while TaskWeaver is stronger on adoption and ecosystem. TaskWeaver also has a free tier, making it more accessible.

vs alternatives: More maintainable than AutoGen for large agent systems because the Planner hub prevents agent interdependencies and makes the interaction graph explicit; easier to add/remove roles without cascading changes to other agents.
Provides comprehensive logging and tracing of agent execution, including LLM prompts/responses, code generation, execution results, and inter-role communication. Tracing is implemented via an event emitter system (event_emitter.py) that captures execution events at each stage. Logs can be exported for debugging, auditing, and performance analysis. Integration with observability platforms (e.g., OpenTelemetry) is supported for production monitoring.
Unique: TaskWeaver's event emitter system captures execution events at each stage (LLM calls, code generation, execution, role communication), enabling comprehensive tracing of the entire agent workflow. This is more detailed than frameworks that only log final results.
vs alternatives: More comprehensive than LangChain's logging because it captures inter-role communication and execution history, not just LLM interactions; enables deeper debugging and auditing of multi-agent workflows.
Externalizes agent configuration (LLM provider, plugins, roles, execution limits) into YAML files, enabling users to customize behavior without code changes. The configuration system includes validation to ensure required settings are present and correct (e.g., API keys, plugin paths). Configuration is loaded at startup and can be reloaded without restarting the agent. Supports environment variable substitution for sensitive values (API keys).
Unique: TaskWeaver's configuration system externalizes all agent customization (LLM provider, plugins, roles, execution limits) into YAML, enabling non-developers to configure agents without touching code. This is more accessible than frameworks requiring Python configuration.
vs alternatives: More user-friendly than LangChain's programmatic configuration because YAML is simpler for non-developers; easier to manage configurations across environments without code duplication.
Provides tools for evaluating agent performance on benchmark tasks and testing agent behavior. The evaluation framework includes pre-built datasets (e.g., data analytics tasks) and metrics for measuring success (task completion, code correctness, execution time). Testing utilities enable unit testing of individual components (Planner, CodeInterpreter, plugins) and integration testing of full workflows. Results are aggregated and reported for comparison across LLM providers or agent configurations.
Unique: TaskWeaver includes built-in evaluation framework with pre-built datasets and metrics for data analytics tasks, enabling users to benchmark agent performance without building custom evaluation infrastructure. This is more complete than frameworks that only provide testing utilities.
vs alternatives: More comprehensive than LangChain's testing tools because it includes pre-built evaluation datasets and aggregated reporting; easier to benchmark agent performance without custom evaluation code.
Provides utilities for parsing, validating, and manipulating JSON data throughout the agent workflow. JSON is used for inter-role communication (messages), plugin definitions, configuration, and execution results. The JSON processing layer handles serialization/deserialization of Python objects (DataFrames, custom types) to/from JSON, with support for custom encoders/decoders. Validation ensures JSON conforms to expected schemas.
Unique: TaskWeaver's JSON processing layer handles serialization of Python objects (DataFrames, variables) for inter-role communication, enabling complex data structures to be passed between agents without manual conversion. This is more seamless than frameworks requiring explicit JSON conversion.
vs alternatives: More convenient than manual JSON handling because it provides automatic serialization of Python objects; reduces boilerplate code for inter-role communication in multi-agent workflows.
The CodeInterpreter role generates executable Python code based on task requirements and executes it in an isolated runtime environment. Code generation is LLM-driven and context-aware, with access to plugin definitions that wrap custom algorithms as callable functions. The Code Execution Service sandboxes execution, captures output/errors, and returns results back to the Planner. Plugins are defined via YAML configs that specify function signatures, enabling the LLM to generate correct function calls.
Unique: TaskWeaver's CodeInterpreter maintains execution state across code generations within a session, allowing subsequent code snippets to reference variables and DataFrames from previous executions. This is implemented via a persistent Python kernel (not spawning new processes per execution), unlike stateless code execution services that require explicit state passing.
vs alternatives: More efficient than E2B or Replit's code execution APIs for multi-step workflows because it reuses a single Python kernel with preserved state, avoiding the overhead of process spawning and state serialization between steps.
Extends TaskWeaver's functionality by wrapping custom algorithms and tools into callable functions via a plugin architecture. Plugins are defined declaratively in YAML configs that specify function names, parameters, return types, and descriptions. The plugin system registers these definitions with the CodeInterpreter, enabling the LLM to generate correct function calls with proper argument passing. Plugins can wrap Python functions, external APIs, or domain-specific tools (e.g., data validation, ML model inference).
Unique: TaskWeaver's plugin system uses declarative YAML configs to define function signatures, enabling the LLM to generate correct function calls without runtime introspection. This is more explicit than frameworks like LangChain that use Python decorators, making plugin capabilities discoverable and auditable without executing code.
vs alternatives: Simpler to extend than LangChain's tool system because plugins are defined declaratively (YAML) rather than requiring Python code and decorators; easier for non-developers to add new capabilities by editing config files.
