Molecular modeling often involves repetitive or complex tasks—zooming in on specific regions, selecting certain components, applying visual styles—tasks that, while essential, can slow down your workflow. If you’re using the SAMSON molecular design platform, you’ll be happy to know there’s a solution: the /do command in SAMSON AI. This feature is designed to simplify and accelerate these tasks with ease.
SAMSON AI is your built-in assistant, powered by GPT-5 (for Professional plan users), and the /do command is one of its most practical features. Here’s how it can transform your molecular modeling experience.
What Can the /do Command Do?
The /do command allows you to execute a wide range of actions directly within your SAMSON workspace. All you need to do is type your request. The possibilities include zooming, selecting specific regions, altering visual styles, and more. This flexibility makes the /do command highly versatile for both routine tasks and specific adjustments during molecular modeling.
Here are some exemplary tasks the /do command can accomplish:
- Zoom to a specified binding site with ease:
/do zoom to the binding site. - Apply visualization styles efficiently:
/do select the ligand and apply a licorice model. - Clear the workspace quickly:
/do erase all surfaces. - Streamline analysis preparation:
/do remove water. - Customize visual elements on the go:
/do select the gaussian surface and make it light blue.
How to Use the /do Command
The /do command is intuitive and user-friendly. Simply open the SAMSON AI Assistant via Interface > Assistant or use the shortcut Ctrl + 0 (Windows/Linux) or Cmd + 0 (Mac). Type /do followed by your action request, and SAMSON AI will execute it seamlessly.
If typing feels cumbersome, SAMSON AI even supports voice commands! You can vocalize “do” followed by your request to perform actions. Check out the example in this short video:
Why Use the /do Command?
The key advantage of the /do command lies in its ability to save time and effort during routine or intricate molecular modeling tasks. Instead of navigating through menus and interfaces, you can achieve precise results in seconds. This productivity boost is especially valuable when working with large or complex models.
Leverage Retrieval-Augmented Agency
The /do command is backed by SAMSON AI’s unique capability known as retrieval-augmented agency (RAA). This feature enables SAMSON AI to “understand” user prompts while utilizing its built-in knowledge of SAMSON’s functions and extensions to act upon them. It’s a level of integration that enhances both accuracy and functionality.
Ready to Take Action?
If you find yourself repeating tasks or navigating multiple steps to achieve results in molecular modeling, the /do command is the game-changer you need. Try it today to discover how effortless molecular design can become with SAMSON AI.
