The Romero Lab has built Chat with PyMOL, a tool that lets users interact with molecular structures through natural-language conversation.
- Originally created to make PyMOL more accessible to BME undergraduates
- The team quickly found it's simply a better way to work with molecular structures, not just a teaching aid
- A solid AI-for-Science example of wiring an LLM into established scientific software to lower the barrier for domain experts
