✨MIRA
Molecule Insights & Research Assistant
Overview
MIRA is an AI-powered assistant designed to help users navigate Molecule and the broader DeSci ecosystem. It employs Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG) with a domain‑specific knowledge base, supplemented with real‑time web search when necessary. Initially launched as MIRA v0, it serves as a foundation for Molecule’s AI initiatives.
Key Capabilities
Scoped Expertise: Answers queries specifically about Molecule’s products, IP‑NFTs, decentralized science (DeSci), bioDAOs, and funding mechanisms using curated local sources.
Safe and Transparent: Called a responsible AI design—it knows when to say “I don’t know” and defers to human experts to avoid misinformation.
Source Attribution: Every response links back to its origin, ensuring traceability and accountability. Performance and feedback are tracked via Langfuse to continually improve response quality.
Fallback to web search: If local knowledge is insufficient but relevant, MIRA augments its answers by retrieving current information from trusted online sources.
Architecture & Workflow
Workflow:
User Query
Search Local Knowledge (LanceDB)
If sufficient → answer directly
If insufficient but relevant → perform web search
If off-topic → politely decline
Generate Response with linked sources
User Feedback & Tracking via Langfuse
Tech Stack Components:
Chainlit: Interactive chat UI with streaming responses and feedback buttons.
LanceDB: Vector-based semantic search engine for local documents.
OpenAI GPT‑4o: Powers both local logic (evaluation) and web‑augmented generation.
Langfuse: Monitors performance metrics and feedback to refine MIRA.

Context & Strategy
Genesis: Announced in July 2025, MIRA v0 marks Molecule’s first foray into AI‑driven tools to democratize access to DeSci knowledge.
Vision Forward: Future iterations aim to integrate more agentic workflows—enhancing decision‑making, pattern recognition, and complex process automation. Plans include bringing MIRA into flagship products like Molecule Screener and Molecule Labs to benefit researchers and funders.
