Inspiration

Inspired by doing this analysis manually as a lab assistant at Purdue, we built BioAnalysis.AI to make the process faster, clearer, and less error-prone.

What it does

BioAnalysis.AI helps users choose a safe biology analysis workflow from a text prompt, then shows a clear recommendation, key reasons, and a review step before running anything.

How we built it

We built it as a desktop app with React, TypeScript, Rust, and a bounded AI planner connected to an OpenAI API key, plus validation rules so the AI can only choose supported workflows.

Challenges we ran into

One challenge was keeping AI answers useful but still controlled, and another was handling unsupported requests without confusing users.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that we made a clean approval flow, strong guardrails, helpful unsupported guidance, and solid tests for supported and unsupported paths.

What we learned

We learned that good AI products need clear limits, clear explanations, and good validation, not just model output.

What's next for BioAnalysis.AI

Next for BioAnalysis.AI, we plan to add more supported pipeline types, improve prompt understanding, and keep expanding tests while staying safe and reliable.
