We are witnessing a massive shift in biotech. Large language models (LLMs) are moving beyond simple chatbots to become Agentic AIโ€”semi-autonomous systems capable of perceiving, reasoning, and independently executing complex, multi-step workflows. In bioinformatics, these agents act as "junior scientists," capable of interpreting experimental designs, fetching data, and running analyses.
