• Research Can Now Be Entirely AI-Automated With a Tool From ITMO

  ITMO researchers have developed CoScientist, an AI system that can automate the full cycle of research and development in computational chemistry and medicine. Unlike similar assistants, CoScientist doesn’t solve separate research tasks; instead, it tackles complex higher-order ones alongside scientists: analyzes literature, extracts and prepares data, trains generative and predictive AI models to search for new molecules and compounds, and selects candidates based on multiple criteria. The new solution will improve the efficiency and accelerate research in chemistry, nanomaterials, and clinical medicine.

• ITMO-Made ProAGI Multiagent System Accelerates Industrial Software Production by up to 10 Times

  Researchers from ITMO’s Institute for Artificial Intelligence have unveiled ProAGI, a multiagent system that can take on the full cycle of industrial software development: from task analysis and architecture design to testing and polishing of the final product. ProAGI works like an orchestrated system based on several specialized agents: an architect, an analyst, a developer, a tester, and a tech consultant. With the solution, it’s possible to accelerate development and lower its costs by up to 10 times. ProAGI has already been tested on tasks in telecommunication, medicine, education, and oil industry; the agents can also be adapted to other fields.

• ITMO Student Develops AI-Driven App to Help Read Classical Literature

  The long holidays are a great opportunity to finish reading a book that you never had the time for, or visit a book club, which has remained a trending activity throughout 2025. Andrey Borisov, a student from ITMO University, is also sure that reading “serious” literature is still in – and can remain so with the help of artificial intelligence. He has created an app that helps read and understand Russian classical literature, and gives a deeper analysis than ChatGPT does. Andrey shared how it works and why it will motivate rather than discourage us to read in an interview with ITMO NEWS.

• Automated Chemical Research Made Possible Thanks To ITMO-Developed Datasets

  ITMO researchers have released ChemX, a new dataset collection that analyzes the performance of existing information extraction methods for the scientific literature. With this toolkit, scientists can now systematically analyze the capabilities of large language models and multiagent systems in processing complex academic data, expose their shortcomings, and define areas of growth for aspiring researchers in the field. The collection was hand-assembled by experts from ITMO’s Center for Artificial Intelligence in Chemistry and contains ten datasets from the key branches of chemistry – nanomaterials and small molecules. The findings were revealed at the conference NeurIPS 2025.
