Introduction

Welcome to AIAgents4Pharma – an open-source project by Team VPE that brings together AI-driven tools to help researchers and pharma interact seamlessly with complex biological data.

Our toolkit currently consists of the following agents:

• Talk2BioModels (v1 released; v2 in progress): Engage directly with mathematical models in systems biology.
• Talk2KnowledgeGraphs (v1 in progress): Access and explore complex biological knowledge graphs for insightful data connections.
• Talk2Scholars (v1 in progress): Get recommendations for articles related to your choice. Download, query, and write/retrieve them to your reference manager (currently supporting Zotero).
• Talk2Cells (v1 in progress): Query and analyze sequencing data with ease.

Getting Started

Installation

Option 1: PyPI

pip install aiagents4pharma

Check out the tutorials on each agent for detailed instrcutions.

Option 2: git

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/VirtualPatientEngine/AIAgents4Pharma
   cd AIAgents4Pharma

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install .

3. Initialize OPENAI_API_KEY

   export OPENAI_API_KEY=....

4. [Optional] Initialize LANGSMITH_API_KEY

   export LANGCHAIN_TRACING_V2=true
   export LANGCHAIN_API_KEY=<your-api-key>

Please note that this will create a new tracing project in your Langsmith account with the name T2X-xxxx, where X can be B (Biomodels), S (Scholars), KG (KnowledgeGraphs), or C (Cells). If you skip the previous step, it will default to the name default. xxxx will be the 4-digit ID created for the session.

5. Launch the app:

   streamlit run app/frontend/streamlit_app_<agent>.py

Replace with the agent name you are interested to launch.

For detailed instructions on each agent, please refer to their respective modules.
