This free AI agent can do work of multiple scientists
11 Jul 2026


A team of researchers from Stanford University has developed an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) agent, Biomni.

This innovative system is designed to assist human scientists in complex tasks that previously required a group of specialists.

The project was supervised by Jure Leskovec, a computer science professor at Stanford. He announced the release of Biomni as an open-source system with a web interface for biologists who may not have coding skills.


AI agent already assisting over 10,000 scientists
Widespread usage


Leskovec revealed that over 10,000 scientists worldwide are already using Biomni for their daily tasks.

The AI agent can turn a simple request into an entire research workflow.

This includes searching databases, writing analysis code, identifying disease-causing genes, and even generating step-by-step lab instructions.

These instructions have been successfully followed by scientists in real experiments, demonstrating the system's practical utility in biomedical research.


Biomni's breakthrough in data analysis
Test results


In one test, Biomni was given hundreds of raw files from wearable devices and asked to look for biological patterns.

The AI agent successfully cleaned the data, ran the analysis, and generated new hypotheses.

This ability to analyze complex data sets and generate hypotheses is a major leap forward in the field of artificial intelligence and biomedical research.
