With a Q&A interface, it allows users to ask questions in natural language, streamlining the process of knowledge transfer and accelerating research and development.
How long did it take to build Catalyst Copilot?
The development of Catalyst Copilot took approximately six weeks. The main goal was to enhance the accessibility of Amgen's curated knowledge resources, enabling drug developers to find the information and people they need more efficiently. This aims to shorten the discovery cycle and improve the overall drug development process.

AI is transforming the research and development process at Amgen by automating parts of the scientific workflow and enabling better science at scale. By using AI to analyze and classify information, Catalyst Copilot helps researchers quickly access insights, thereby reducing the time spent searching for data.
