What's New on Vecura | October 19-23, 2026

Agent help closer to your work, access to 26 compound libraries in workflows, and new conformer generation capabilities with CREST.

Welcome to What’s New on Vecura, our regular recap of recent platform improvements and scientific capabilities.

This week, Vecura makes it easier to ask for help while configuring tools, building workflows, and reviewing results. Researchers can also access 26 external compound libraries within workflows, generate conformer ensembles with CREST, and configure DNAchisel runs with clearer input guidance.

Agent

Get help in the context of your work

Vecura Agent is now easier to access across the platform, with suggested questions tailored to the page you are viewing.

The Agent panel opens automatically when a run finishes or encounters an error, and when you are in the workflow editor. A context chip identifies which page your question relates to, making the connection between your work and the conversation more visible.

Guidance boxes also appear on your first visit to the Tools, tool input, and Workflows pages, helping you get started with Agent assistance.

Ask the Agent to analyse completed results

Completed runs now include an Analyze this result button.

Selecting it lets you ask Vecura Agent to analyse the run’s outputs directly from the results view, creating a more direct transition from computation to discussion and interpretation.

Find runs across your current project

Type @ in Agent chat to find any run in your current project and attach it to your question.

The Databases menu has also been renamed Add sources, and its icon has changed to @. When you switch tabs, your chat scroll position is preserved so you can return to the same point in the conversation.

Workflows

Access 26 external compound libraries

Compound Libraries is now available within workflows, providing access to 26 external compound libraries.

Researchers can incorporate these sources into their computational workflows, expanding the compound resources available within Vecura.

Models and Tools

Generate conformer ensembles with CREST

CREST is now available on Vecura for generating conformer ensembles, collections of different three-dimensional conformations of a molecule.

The integration includes input checks, charge and spin validation for refinement modes, and checks on individual structures within an ensemble. These checks help identify incompatible inputs before a run begins.

Configure DNA Chisel with clearer input guidance

DNA Chisel now includes a species picker for codon usage, making it easier to specify the host organism whose codon usage should guide sequence optimization.

Additional input checks run before submission, helping researchers identify configuration issues before starting computation.

From setup to result analysis

This week’s updates bring Agent assistance closer to everyday research tasks while expanding the resources and tools available for computational work.
