The AI for real science.

Run synthesis in a virtual lab, validated by real physics and chemistry.

  • Run synthesis in a virtual lab, validated by real physics and chemistry.
  • Simulate your experiment. Understand the results before you go to the bench.
  • Reverse engineer a compound. Find the route, the reactions, the conditions.
  • Design your experiment and test it computationally before you spend a euro.
  • Build a protocol from five papers. Validate every step against thermodynamics.
  • Don’t know how to run the simulation? Describe it. The agent does the rest.

00 // AI RESEARCH AGENT

Autonomous AI research agent.

Ask a research question. An AI agent reasons about your intent, selects the right tools, executes them, and evaluates the results. It repeats until it has a verified, cited answer.

Autonomous reasoning
Up to 10 reasoning cycles per question, with a scratchpad that tracks goals, findings, and next steps
Dynamic tool selection
The agent picks the right tool for each step: literature search, patent lookup, chemical analysis, or simulation
Physics and chemistry aware
Every answer is grounded in real constraints: thermodynamics, kinetics, solubility, and molecular structure
AGENTgoal met?MessageGoalPlanExecuteResultsEvaluateAnswerLiteraturePatentsChemistrySimulationWeb
01 // LITERATURE REVIEW & PRIOR ART

Automated literature review & prior art research.

Search PubMed, arXiv, Google Scholar, and Google Patents in plain language. The AI agent iterates with refined queries across scientific and patent databases until it has comprehensive, cited results.

Multi-source search
PubMed, arXiv, Google Scholar, Google Patents, and the open web searched in parallel
Adaptive query refinement
The agent evaluates results and reformulates queries until coverage is comprehensive
Full citation chains
Every finding linked to its original source with DOIs, authors, publication dates, and patent numbers
AGENTcoverage complete?QueryGoalPlanSearchResultsEvaluateReviewPubMedarXivNatureIEEEPatentsScholarly
02 // SCIENCE COMPUTER

AI & Jupyter.

Scientists work in notebooks. They run simulations, plot results, and iterate. So we brought JupyterLab into Vicena. You and the AI agent work together in the same notebook, building on each other's work across sessions.

Agentic JupyterLab
The agent builds notebooks cell by cell: writes code, checks output, fixes errors, and refines. You see every step live.
30+ scientific packages
NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib, RDKit, PySCF, ASE, and more pre-installed. Need something else? Ask the agent to install it. It persists for next time.
Persistent cloud environment
Your notebooks, data, and installed packages persist across conversations. Pick up where you left off.

03 // VIRTUAL LAB SIMULATION

Virtual lab simulation.

Simulate your protocol in a virtual lab before going to the bench. The AI validates each step against thermodynamic, kinetic, and chemical constraints.

Thermodynamic validation
Energy balances, equilibrium constants, and Gibbs free energy checked at every reaction step
Kinetic feasibility
Reaction rates, activation energies, and time-to-completion estimated from literature data
Solubility and compatibility
Solvent compatibility, miscibility, and precipitation risks flagged before you start

Webloading protocol: 6 steps to validate... step 1: mixing reagents -- checking solubility... simulating: 95C heating -- thermodynamics valid no simulation available -- inferring from literature... step 4 flagged: precipitation risk at pH 3.2 5/6 steps pass, 1 warning issued
04 // PROTOCOL EXTRACTION

Extract experimental protocols.

Describe the experiment you want to reproduce. The AI agent extracts every variable from the literature and delivers a complete protocol where nothing is hallucinated.

Variable-by-variable extraction
Temperatures, concentrations, durations, reagents: each parameter found and cross-referenced independently
Confidence scoring
Every value scored by how many independent sources agree, so you know what to trust
Chemistry-aware validation
PubChem and RDKit integration catches impossible reactions and validates molecular structures
AGENTall variables found?RequestGoalPlanExtractScoreEvaluateProtocolScholarProtocol DBChemistryPatentsTech.

05 // COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY

Computational chemistry toolkit.

16 computational chemistry tools powered by RDKit, PubChem, and neural networks. Convert names to molecular structures, predict reaction products, check safety data, and calculate properties, all from a single prompt.

Reaction prediction
ReactionT5v2 neural network predicts products and retrosynthesis routes for complex organic reactions
Molecular analysis
Properties, descriptors, functional groups, and Lipinski drug-likeness scoring from SMILES structures
Safety and spectra
GHS hazard data from PubChem, predicted IR/NMR/MS spectra, and solubility in 20+ lab solvents
