## Introduction

Welcome to **AIAgents4Pharma** – an open-source project by [Team VPE](https://github.com/VirtualPatientEngine) that brings together AI-driven tools to help researchers and pharma interact seamlessly with complex biological data.

Our toolkit currently consists of the following agents:

- **Talk2BioModels** _(v1 released; v2 in progress)_: Engage directly with mathematical models in systems biology.

- **Talk2KnowledgeGraphs** _(v1 in progress)_: Access and explore complex biological knowledge graphs for insightful data connections.

- **Talk2Scholars** _(v1 in progress)_: Get recommendations for articles related to your choice. Download, query, and write/retrieve them to your reference manager (currently supporting Zotero).

- **Talk2Cells** _(v1 in progress)_: Query and analyze sequencing data with ease.

- **Talk2AIAgents4Pharma** _(v1 in progress)_: Converse with all the agents above (currently supports T2B and T2KG)

## Getting Started

![Python Version from PEP 621 TOML](https://img.shields.io/python/required-version-toml?tomlFilePath=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FVirtualPatientEngine%2FAIAgents4Pharma%2Frefs%2Fheads%2Fmain%2Fpyproject.toml)

### Installation

_Please use version 1.26.2 or later for better support with NVIDIA NIM models._

#### Option 1: PyPI

![Python Version from PEP 621 TOML](https://img.shields.io/python/required-version-toml?tomlFilePath=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FVirtualPatientEngine%2FAIAgents4Pharma%2Frefs%2Fheads%2Fmain%2Fpyproject.toml)

```bash

pip install aiagents4pharma

```

Check out the tutorials on each agent for detailed instructions.

#### Option 2: Docker Hub

_We now have `Talk2AIAgents4Pharma`, `Talk2Biomodels`, and `Talk2Scholars` available on Docker Hub._

##### **Run Talk2AIAgents4Pharma and Talk2KnowledgeGraphs**

Talk2AIAgents4Pharma and Talk2KnowledgeGraphs require Ollama for embedding models, so Docker Compose is used to run both containers in the same network.

###### **Setup Environment Variables**

1. Choose the app you want to use:

```sh

# Navigate to the correct directory before setting up environment variables.

# Use one of the following commands based on the agent you want to use:

cd AIAgents4Pharma/aiagents4pharma/talk2aiagents4pharma

cd AIAgents4Pharma/aiagents4pharma/talk2knowledgegraphs

```

2. Copy the `.env.example` file and rename it to `.env`:

   ```sh

   cp .env.example .env

   ```

3. Open the `.env` file and add your API keys:

   ```plaintext

   OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key

   NVIDIA_API_KEY=your_nvidia_api_key

   OLLAMA_HOST=http://ollama:11434

   LANGCHAIN_TRACING_V2=true

   LANGCHAIN_API_KEY=your_langchain_api_key_here

   # Notes:

   # The API endpoint for Ollama is already set in env.example.

   # Both API keys (OPENAI_API_KEY and NVIDIA_API_KEY) are required for Talk2AIAgents4Pharma.

   # If using Talk2KnowledgeGraphs separately, only the OPENAI_API_KEY is needed.

   # Langsmith API for tracing is optional for both, set it in env.example if required.

   ```

4. Save the file.

To start the containers, run the following command:

```sh

docker compose --profile cpu up # for CPU mode

docker compose --profile nvidia up # for GPU mode

docker compose --profile amd up # for AMD mode

```

This will:

- Pull the latest images if they are not already available.

- Start both Talk2AIAgents4Pharma or Talk2KnowledgeGraphs and Ollama containers in the same network.

- Ensure Ollama is running first before launching Talk2AIAgents4Pharma or Talk2KnowledgeGraphs.

To Access the web app, open your browser and go to:

```

http://localhost:8501

```

To stop the containers, run:

```sh

docker compose down

```

##### **Run Talk2Biomodels and Talk2Scholars**

1. **Run the containers**

   ```bash

   docker run -d \

     --name talk2biomodels \

     -e OPENAI_API_KEY=<your_openai_api_key> \

     -e NVIDIA_API_KEY=<your_nvidia_api_key> \

     -p 8501:8501 \

     virtualpatientengine/talk2biomodels

   ```

   ```bash

   docker run -d \

     --name talk2scholars \

     -e OPENAI_API_KEY=<your_openai_api_key> \

     -e ZOTERO_API_KEY=<your_zotero_api_key> \

     -e ZOTERO_USER_ID=<your_zotero_user_id> \

     -p 8501:8501 \

     virtualpatientengine/talk2scholars

   ```

2. **Access the Web App**

   Open your browser and go to:

   ```

   http://localhost:8501

   ```

   _You can create a free account at NVIDIA and apply for their

   free credits [here](https://build.nvidia.com/explore/discover)._

#### **Notes**

- Ensure you **replace `<your_openai_api_key>`, `<your_nvidia_api_key>`, `<your_zotero_api_key>`, and `<your_zotero_user_id>`** with your actual credentials.

- Both applications use **port `8501`**, so run them on different ports if needed:

  ```bash

  docker run -d -e OPENAI_API_KEY=<your_openai_api_key> -p 8501:8501 virtualpatientengine/talk2scholars

  ```

  Then, access it via `http://localhost:8501`.

#### Option 3: git

![Python Version from PEP 621 TOML](https://img.shields.io/python/required-version-toml?tomlFilePath=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FVirtualPatientEngine%2FAIAgents4Pharma%2Frefs%2Fheads%2Fmain%2Fpyproject.toml)

1. **Clone the repository:**

   ```bash

   git clone https://github.com/VirtualPatientEngine/AIAgents4Pharma

   cd AIAgents4Pharma

   ```

2. **Install dependencies:**

   ```bash

   pip install -r requirements.txt

   ```

   ⚠️ The current version of T2KG requires additional Ollama library to be installed.

   Ollama can be easily downloaded and installed from the following link: [https://ollama.com/download](https://ollama.com/download)

   As an alternative, use the following commands to install the library using terminal and to pull necessary model:

   - Ubuntu:

     ```

     curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh

     ollama pull nomic-embed-text

     ```

   - Windows:

     ```

     curl -L https://ollama.com/download/ollama-windows-amd64.zip -o ollama-windows-amd64.zip

     tar -xzf .\ollama-windows-amd64.zip

     start ollama serve

     ollama pull nomic-embed-text

     ```

   - macOS:

     ```

     brew install ollama

     ollama pull nomic-embed-text

     ```

     A list of pulled Ollama models can be checked using the following command:

   ```

   ollama list

   ```

   ⚠️ `pcst_fast 1.0.10` library requires `Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0` or greater to be installed.

   You can download `Microsoft C++ Build Tools` from [here](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/).

3. **Initialize OPENAI_API_KEY and NVIDIA_API_KEY**

   ```bash

   export OPENAI_API_KEY=....

   export NVIDIA_API_KEY=....

   ```

   _You can create a free account at NVIDIA and apply for their

   free credits [here](https://build.nvidia.com/explore/discover)._

4. **Initialize ZOTERO_API_KEY and ZOTERO_USER_ID**

   ```bash

   export ZOTERO_API_KEY=....

   export ZOTERO_USER_ID=....

   ```

   _Please note that ZOTERO keys are requried only if you want to launch Talk2Scholars. For all the other agents, please ignore this step._

5. **[Optional] Initialize LANGSMITH_API_KEY**

   ```bash

   export LANGCHAIN_TRACING_V2=true

   export LANGCHAIN_API_KEY=<your-api-key>

   ```

   _Please note that this will create a new tracing project in your Langsmith

   account with the name `T2X-xxxx`, where `X` can be `AA4P` (Main Agent),

   `B` (Biomodels), `S` (Scholars), `KG` (KnowledgeGraphs), or `C` (Cells).

   If you skip the previous step, it will default to the name `default`.

   `xxxx` will be the 4-digit ID created for the session._

6. **Launch the app:**

   ```bash

   streamlit run app/frontend/streamlit_app_<agent>.py

   ```

   _Replace <agent> with the agent name you are interested to launch._

For detailed instructions on each agent, please refer to their respective modules.
