We’re thrilled about this project and to work with @chrisa.bsky.social. BugPicker is one of our first efforts to lower cost barriers to global-scale biological discovery. Paired with imaging and DNA sequencing, our goal is to catalog the biodiversity we’ve missed. youtu.be/2GnavqCMnYY?...

This AI Robot Picks Bugs So Scientists Don’t Have To

Yesterday was an amazing experience at @anthropic.com Code with Claude. It's impossible not to feel the excitement in the community. Today I'm thrilled to be presenting on the Founder's stage at Code with Claude: Extended! (1/2)

Two milestones for our founder @seanjungbluth.bsky.social this week: a CwC talk on domain experts in the age of AI, and his appointment as an @anthropic.com Claude Community Ambassador (SF Bay Area) — a role he plans to use to build community across the sciences broadly. claude.com/code-with-cl...

Claude can code. Experts still matter: Building BioKEA's biodiversity stack | Session | Code w/ Claude 2026

A scientist-founder built BioKEA's full biodiversity discovery stack with Claude as primary coding partner: sample-to-publication pipeline, analysis dashboards, citizen science games, internal tools. ...

Excited to represent BioKEA at the first ATScience conference (part of ATmosphereConf)

BioKEA was present in the NVIDIA GTC audience yesterday for the official DOE Genesis Mission announcement kicking off the public RFP. An exciting opportunity for AI acceleration of biological and environmental research ! #DOE #Genesis -SJ

Excited for BioKEA’s first trip to NVIDIA GTC! You can touch the future here. #NVIDIA #GTC -SJ

I’m pleased to share that BioKEA secured $25K from the Google for Startups Cloud Program. These credits advance our pursuit of large-scale GPUs for AI bioinformatics. #BioKEA #GoogleCloud -SJ

Another late announcement: stopped by LBNL’s LEEP Demo Day last Wed @ Berkeley Commons (berkeleycommons.com). Demoed BioKEA’s 1st product, Agentis, built entirely outside the lab, and showed how its agentic peer review turns papers into minute-scale feedback. Great discussions and networking! -SJ

Two more snapshots from the JBIMS session: one at the session start and one in front of UC-Berkeley's iconic Campanile (visit.berkeley.edu/campus-attra...). -SJ

Late announcement, but had the chance to share Agentis, BioKEA’s first product, at JBIMS on May 15. Demonstrated how our agentic peer-review engine scored a preprint in minutes and sparked a great discussion on transparent AI in science. Energized by the questions and feedback. -SJ

Introducing BioKEA (biokea.ai). In the AI age, this is our attempt to make omics analysis feel as fluid as writing and talking with ChatGPT. After months of late-night tinkering, we're close to shipping products. Watch this space for news, updates, and ideas.
