Using AI-driven methodology, we generated INS018_055, a small-molecule TNIK inhibitor, which exhibits desirable drug-like properties and anti-fibrotic activity across different organs in vivo through oral, inhaled or topical administration…. Its safety and tolerability as well as pharmacokinetics were validated in a randomized,
double-blinded, placebo-controlled phase I clinical trial
(NCT05154240) involving 78 healthy participants.

So in mid-March he bought four Mac Minis (“I got lawyer money,” he said dryly), parked them under his office desk and installed OpenClaw on all of them. He set up five agents. One is an “orchestrator” that logs into his online legal software. At first, it didn’t know what to look for or what to do, so the agent would text Bell via the chat app Discord to ask for instructions.
