This chapter presents an overview of ten selected Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven web platforms designed to support the early stages of the drug discovery process. Its primary aim is to serve as both a practical guide and a critical review for potential users of such platforms, including those without cheminformatics or programming expertise. Additionally, we underline the limitations of these platforms and explore potential enhancements through Human-Centered Design (HCD) strategies to help improve both existing and future web-based platforms for optimal use.
