Computational-chemistry projects still rely on raw log files that are huge, messy, and hard to reuse. Researchers often copy-paste energies into spreadsheets, pass logs around by e-mail, and rebuild fragile parsing scripts for each new study. One typo or missing line can derail days of work, and searching for “all jobs that failed to converge last month” is practically impossible.
QuantumParse, running inside ElizaOS, automates the dull parts and removes the risky parts.
It reads Gaussian 16 log files automatically, extracts key data (energies, basis sets, warnings, convergence steps), and converts everything into a clean knowledge graph.
It drops a readable summary straight into the ElizaOS chat window, so you can see the result seconds after a job finishes—no more hand-transcribing numbers.
It lets you ask follow-up questions in plain English: “Show molecules with imaginary frequencies” or “List number of molecules processed”. The answers come back instantly from the knowledge graph.
Graph and plot the most useful molecular properties, and analyse the iterations of each gaussian job within elizaos
Who benefits
In short, QuantumParse turns raw quantum-chemistry calculations into clear, searchable knowledge—quicker, safer, and with zero manual copy-paste.
To be honest...
ElizaOS was one of the most difficult and touchy frameworks to deal with. I wish they had settled on a structure and clear documentation earlier on in their journey so that It could be possible to use it properly. It's not fun reading the documentation, and seeing out of date items, as well as multiple branches and methodologies where some work and oftentimes others don't.
There were also unexplainable bugs and often I would just have to start over completely because either the cache got stuck etc. It's clear that this is really a fast moving and giant work in progress project, and I can tolerate that, but It really made me realise the importance of clear documentation for my own projects.
I finally settled for using the version pre 1.0.0, as I thought that was the most usable at the moment, but it's quite sad not being able to develop plugins properly on npm
