Inductive Bio launches Indy, an AI chemistry assistant, to double the capacity of every medicinal chemist

Indy is the world’s first medicinal chemistry agent. Indy outperforms Claude Opus 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol in head-to-head benchmarks that include QC’ing new assay data, analyzing SAR, and the design/triage of analogs.

NEW YORK, Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Inductive Bio today launched Indy, an AI chemistry assistant, available to partners now. Inductive’s medicinal chemists, computational chemists, and DMPK scientists built Indy for their work inside partner programs, where it has doubled the team’s productivity. Indy gives every scientist an AI chemistry assistant that has been trained from some of the best drug hunters in the world to work with a program’s data and computational tools (including Inductive’s benchmark-winning ADMET and PK models) to increase the rigor of every decision made every day on every program.

The constraint on a discovery program is rarely how quickly scientists can come up with new ideas for molecules. It is the quality of the day-to-day analyses and decisions, big and small, that add up over years to the success or failure of a drug program. Do I trust the data from this assay? What does the new data tell us about SAR? What design strategies will get me closer to my TPP? Are my synthetic resources focused on the right targets? What’s the fastest route to test my design hypothesis? Are any of our synthetic targets falling behind? Getting the right answers to these questions takes up the majority of medicinal chemists’ time, while getting the wrong answers can waste months of a team’s time.

Indy removes this operational bottleneck from drug discovery, increasing the rigor of every decision a medicinal chemist makes. Indy parses CRO reports, QCs every dose-response curve, interprets historical SAR to discern trends, runs generative chemistry algorithms, sets up FEP calculations, and generates project update slides for your next meeting. Scientists get more time for the high-impact work only they can do, enabling higher-quality program decisions with greater confidence.

In a head-to-head comparison published today, Indy outperformed Claude Opus 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol on 84 dose-response curves from real programs. Indy had an accuracy of 89%, compared to 39% for GPT-5.6 Sol and 48% for Claude Opus 5, even when Claude and GPT were told to use the highest levels of effort.

“We have incorporated Indy into a number of workflows, including data QC, SAR table construction and analysis, and synthesis queue management,” said Nicholas Perl, PhD, head of chemistry at Anvia Therapeutics. “Indy surfaces patterns in the data that help us make better decisions, and it lets me spend less time maintaining slides and more time driving scientific strategy.”

“We trained Indy on the tasks that take medicinal chemists’ time but not their creativity,” said Josh Haimson, co-founder and CEO of Inductive Bio. “The result is an assistant that can double a chemist’s productivity while fitting seamlessly into their existing workflows.”

Indy is available to Inductive’s partners today.

About Inductive Bio

Inductive builds virtual chemistry labs that help drug hunters design higher quality molecules, faster. Inductive’s virtual labs are designed to scale proven scientific best practices across medicinal chemistry, computational chemistry, DMPK, and safety, enabling teams to make higher-quality decisions consistently throughout discovery. Inside these virtual labs, AI chemistry assistants, predictive ADMET and PK models, and human-relevant digital organ technologies work together to help scientists evaluate more hypotheses in silico and surface key risks earlier. The most promising molecules move from the virtual lab to the wet lab in a tight feedback loop that accelerates the advancement of high-quality molecules. Inductive already powers dozens of active discovery programs, including collaborations with leading biopharma partners. For more information, please visit www.inductive.bio.

New HomeSaver® Cash ISA offers a boosted 5.5% AER to customers who buy, move or remortgage through Tembo

New Cash ISA offers a market-leading 5.5% AER (variable), including a conditional mortgage bonus, for savers planning to buy their first home, move or remortgageA saver with a £30,000 balance could earn more than £250 extra interest over one year compared with the next best rate currently availableNo cap on transfers-in or existing ISA balances, giving customers the opportunity to earn the boosted rate on larger sums

LONDON, Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ –Tembo, the award-winning mortgage and savings platform, has launched its HomeSaver Cash ISA®, offering a market-leading 5.5% AER (variable) to savers who go on to buy, move home or remortgage through Tembo.

The account combines a 2.8% AER variable base rate with a 2.7% AER fixed conditional HomeSaver bonus, payable after 12 months when the customer completes a mortgage through Tembo within three years of opening the account.

Based on a £30,000 balance held for one year, Tembo calculates that savers could earn more than £250 in additional interest compared with the next best Cash ISA rate currently available.*

Unlike many headline savings deals, there is no cap on ISA transfers-in or existing ISA balances, meaning customers transferring Cash ISA savings built up over previous tax years can earn the boosted rate on a substantially larger balance than just the current annual ISA allowance.

Customers also have unlimited access to their savings without penalties.

Richard Dana, founder and CEO of Tembo, said: “Getting the best possible return on your savings can make a real difference when buying a new home. Our HomeSaver® Cash ISA is designed to make your money work harder, while also giving customers support when they’re ready to make their plans a reality. Savers get a competitive tax-free return, complete flexibility over their money and access to Tembo’s award-winning mortgage advice when they’re ready to buy, move or remortgage.”

How the Tembo HomeSaver Cash ISA® works

Customers can open an account and deposit up to their remaining annual ISA allowance, or transfer existing Cash ISA balances held elsewhere.

They earn a 2.8% AER variable base rate, paid monthly, while building a 2.7% AER fixed (conditional) HomeSaver bonus over 12 months.

Customers who complete a purchase, home move or remortgage using Tembo’s award-winning mortgage service within three years of opening the account qualify for the bonus, which is paid into their Cash ISA after the 12-month bonus period.

The account offers unlimited withdrawals without penalties, while Tembo’s mortgage advice is fee-free.

Eligible deposits are protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme up to £120,000 per person, per authorised firm.

Terms and conditions

Tembo’s HomeSaver Cash ISA offers 5.5% AER (variable), including conditional bonuses. This comprises a 2.8% AER variable base rate and a conditional one-year 2.7% AER fixed HomeSaver bonus, payable after 12 months if the customer completes a mortgage through Tembo Money Limited within three years of opening the account. The account must remain open until the bonus is paid. One HomeSaver bonus is payable per mortgage. Full terms and conditions apply.
