Science42: DORA (Draft Outline Research Assistant)

Science42: DORA is a tool from Insilico Medicine that drafts scientific documents, such as papers and grant applications, using several AI agents working from proprietary databases and set workflows for referencing. Insilico announced a preview on 26 July 2024, and its product page now offers online and on-premise versions with free and paid plans.

Benefits & outcomes

  • Insilico says a draft takes about 20 to 25 minutes to generate.
  • Insilico reports that researchers at the University of Copenhagen used a DORA draft as the basis of a paper on radiotherapy outcomes in brain tumours, which they curated and extended before submitting it to medRxiv.
  • Brian Buntz of Drug Discovery Trends tested it in July 2024 and published the unedited draft it produced in about 20 minutes.

Notes & quotes

  • “We don’t encourage direct submission from Dora to a journal.” Alex Zhavoronkov, Insilico Medicine.
