arXiv:2605.27853v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present MolLingo, a multi-agent system that emulates the reasoning process of a chemist to automate molecular design. Existing LLM-based approaches either operate as standalone generative models without access to external tools or lack the multi-agent coordination and shared memory needed for iterative, evidence-driven reasoning across the molecular design pipeline. MolLingo addresses this by coordinating a Literature Agent, a Chemist Agent, and an Orchestrator through a shared memory module, with each agent equipped with domain-specific tools
The convergence of advanced large language models and the increasing demand for accelerated scientific discovery makes autonomous molecular design a timely frontier for AI application.
This development indicates a significant step towards automating complex scientific workflows, potentially accelerating drug discovery, material science, and chemical engineering by leveraging AI agents.
The ability of AI models to coordinate and reason iteratively in scientific domains, rather than just act as standalone generative tools, represents a material change in how AI can be deployed in research.
