Bunsen Help for Small Molecule Drug Discovery (Closed Beta)

 

Bunsen is Schrödinger’s co-scientist in an AI-powered scientific workspace.

 

Bunsen autonomously executes complex discovery workflows where users can describe a research task in natural language and collaborate with an agent for computational work. Pre-loaded with expert digital chemistry knowledge, Bunsen extends the reach of Schrödinger’s software suite into a seamless, chemistry-native interface.

Describe a task in chat, provide relevant inputs, review the proposed plan, and approve any computation before it runs. Long-running calculations execute asynchronously, and Bunsen reports results after checking the actual output.

Bunsen and Maestro

Bunsen is an AI-powered scientific workspace where users can describe a research task in natural language and collaborate with an agent for computational work. Bunsen helps you carry out a scientific objective from end to end. Use Bunsen when you want to describe a broader research goal conversationally and have an agent plan, coordinate, execute, and analyze the work.

Maestro is Schrödinger’s graphical user interface where users can access state-of-the-art predictive computational modeling tools and machine learning workflows for molecular discovery. Maestro is for small molecule drug discovery, Maestro BioLuminate is for biologics drug discovery and Materials Science Maestro (MS Maestro) is for materials science discovery.

Bunsen is designed to connect with Maestro so users can move between conversational, agent-driven work and Maestro’s graphical modeling environment.

Maestro Assistant

Maestro Assistant helps you work inside Maestro. Use Maestro Assistant when you are already in Maestro and need contextual help or help with styling or executing tasks in the Workspace.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Bunsen is an AI co-scientist on the Schrödinger platform. It turns natural-language scientific goals into validated computational workflows.

Bunsen covers the full range of Schrödinger workflows conversationally, including preparing protein structures, docking, FEP+ setup, molecule design with AutoDesigner, molecular dynamics simulations, ADMET prediction, and database queries.

Yes. Bunsen provides curated skills, tools, and chemistry-specific context spanning small molecule drug discovery, biologics, materials science, and enterprise informatics.

Bunsen is purpose-built for computational chemistry. It runs actual calculations using Schrödinger's validated physics on your infrastructure.

Bunsen is deployed as a single-tenant instance for each organization. Your data stays within your infrastructure, and Schrödinger never trains on your data.

No. You state your intent in plain language, and Bunsen produces a validated plan for your review before execution.

No. Bunsen works on top of your existing platform, orchestrating tools such as FEP+, Glide, Jaguar, Desmond, and AutoDesigner.

Bunsen is currently in closed beta with select discovery teams, and access is expanding. Contact your Account Manager for details.

Contact your Schrödinger Account Manager to discuss early access and fit for your team's workflows.

Yes. New expert skills are added continuously across all supported domains as new platform features ship.
