Amgen Catalyst Copilot R&D knowledge agent

L1 · Assistive Verified · Production Health System Operations

Amgen built Catalyst Copilot in Copilot Studio in ~6 weeks so R&D staff can ask natural-language questions over curated drug-development knowledge (reported by Microsoft / Amgen)

Problem

Drug developers spent hours or days hunting intranet links, PDFs, and SharePoint folders for trial designs and molecule resources (reported by Microsoft / Amgen)

Workflow

  1. R&D user asks question in Catalyst
  2. Catalyst Copilot reasons over curated knowledge
  3. Returns synthesized answer and sources
  4. Knowledge team uses intent signals to improve curation

Human-in-the-loop: Assistive Q&A only; scientists decide how to apply answers in R&D.
