  Conversational agents are a recent trend in human-computer interaction,
deployed in multidisciplinary applications to assist the users. In this paper,
we introduce "Atreya", an interactive bot for chemistry enthusiasts,
researchers, and students to study the ChEMBL database. Atreya is hosted by
Telegram, a popular cloud-based instant messaging application. This
user-friendly bot queries the ChEMBL database, retrieves the drug details for a
particular disease, targets associated with that drug, etc. This paper explores
the potential of using a conversational agent to assist chemistry students and
chemical scientist in complex information seeking process.
