Large language models (LLMs) are moving beyond simple chatbots to become Agentic AIโ€”semi-autonomous systems capable of perceiving, reasoning, and independently executing complex, multi-step workflows. In bioinformatics, these agents act as "junior scientists," capable of interpreting experimental designs, fetching data, and running analyses. ๐Ÿค ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜€?
