Simplifying Drug Discovery with BMaps’ AI Assistant Gibbs

Today marks the exciting release of Gibbs, an AI assistant for drug discovery within Boltzmann Maps. Our goal with BMaps has always been to democratize the complex process of pre-clinical drug discovery. Now, we take the next step towards that goal with the introduction of Gibbs.

Getting started with a new tool or technique can be a painful and time intensive process. Through searching through documentation to watching tutorials, these activities are necessary but slow down the process of science.

Enter Gibbs!

Contextualized on our database of documentation, and powered by OpenAI, Gibbs provides users with an easy and conversational way to learn how to accomplish your drug discovery and molecular visualization tasks. This reduces the normal learning curve from hours to minutes, and Gibbs’ depth and accuracy of responses have even shocked our own scientists! Here’s an example:

Our AI assistant Gibbs is ready to help with your drug discovery tasks. Some examples include: importing chemical systems, changing the visualization, and performing simple energy calculations or vendor searches. Gibbs can even help with more complicated workflows like running new fragment simulations or selectivity analysis.

This new feature is directly accessible through the Help button in the upper right of the BMaps application. You can now start your own conversation with Gibbs to assist in your workflow. Of course, our usual tutorials, documentation, and support emails are all still available. You can check the collapsed Help Information menu above the Gibbs conversation window to access those resources as well.

Built with guardrails to stay scientifically focused, Gibbs design is to help you explore and execute tasks in Bmaps. Even better, enrich your BMaps experience by letting Gibbs help you connect the dots on relevant chemistry or biology questions. Powered by OpenAI’s ChatGPT API’s, Gibbs has access to a wealth of knowledge that can accelerate your scientific and drug discovery journey.

One day, all tools will be made easy by having a knowledgable AI-based expert ready to answer your every question. For BMaps, that day is today!

As we continue to develop Gibbs’ knowledge base and give him more agency to help you streamline scientific tasks in BMaps, we are excited to hear about how Gibbs is helping you and what improvements you would like to see. As with any questions/comments/concerns the BMaps team is always excited to help at support@coniferpoint.com.
