Researchers have developed an AI-powered ‘scientific assistant’ designed to accelerate the scientific process by helping them identify new research questions, analyze and interpret data, and produce scientific documents.

The tool, called Denario, uses large language models to help scientists with tasks from developing new hypotheses to compiling manuscripts. The team hopes Denario will make research faster, more dynamic and more interdisciplinary.

AI can already help with parts of the scientific process: tools like ChatGPT can visualize data or write abstracts, for example. But these tools are typically limited to one step at a time.
