Bayer cuts drug discovery time with AI-powered research assistant

Drug discovery can take over a decade, slowed by fragmented preclinical study reports across siloed systems, making it hard to leverage decades of research data.

Bayer AG partnered with Thoughtworks to transform their Preclinical Information Center (PRINCE) from a basic search tool to an AI-powered assistant. Built on AWS, it now features conversational AI for natural-language queries and a multi-agent system for complex tasks. Highlights include:

· Access to 18,000+ reports with 2M+ indexed paragraphs
· Precise citations for efficient verification
· Transition to AI assistant in under 2 years
