Lessons learned building AI agents for bioinformatics

Does this feel familiar?

+
+

"Every time I open social media, someone's posted about AI agents. I don't know where to start."

+
+
+

Social media → YouTube → documentation → repeat

+

Always reading. Always about to start.

+
+

Stop scrolling and start building.

+
+
+ + +
+
+

How did I get here?

+
+

Scientist by training → bioinformatician & data engineer

+

Advocate for automation, reproducibility, FAIR data

+ +

Saw an advert for the first ClawBio hackathon. Skeptical, naturally.

+ +

In an hour, I was able to take an idea to an MVP. Something clicked.

+

So I submitted a PR. Then another. And I haven't stopped slept since.

So what?

+

Most biologists don't know ClawBio exists yet.

+
+
+

🔓 Open source

+

In a space full of proprietary black boxes, ClawBio is built in the open — every skill, every decision, reviewable by anyone.

+
+
+

💬 Challenge culture

+

Lowering the barrier so anyone can question an approach, flag a result, or say "this doesn't look right." Domain expertise is a contribution.

+
+
+

🌀 Flywheel effect

+

Users become contributors. Contributors build better tools. Better tools attract more users. That's how communities grow.

+
+
+

ClawBio is the start of a community.

+

Others are still trying to do this in isolation.

+

Together, we can move 10× faster — and in the right direction.

+
+
+ + +
+
+

A few things to keep in mind

+
    +
  • Respect original works. Preserve defaults, CLI flags, output structure, and behaviour.
    • +
  • Cite research properly. Make sure citations actually exist — LLMs hallucinate references.
    • +
  • Do not assume scientific correctness. Validate reimplementations against original works.
    • +
  • Don't reinvent the wheel. Use /commons/ for helper functions and test fixtures.
    • +
  • Be aware of prompt injection. Note this is dependent on the underlying model you use.
    • +
+
+ Prompt injection via Telegram bot +
