I've been tinkering in this space for a bit and the thing that always kills me is the literature grind. You find 30-40 recent papers on something like organoid vascularization or CRISPR circuits, spend days connecting the dots, and still end up with the same old ideas.
So I'm building a simple, no-BS Literature-to-Hypothesis tool just for folks like us. You give it a topic, it pulls recent stuff from PubMed and arXiv, synthesizes the key bits, and spits out 3-5 concrete, testable hypotheses with citations and rough protocol sketches. Goal is under 15 minutes so you can actually move forward instead of just reading.
It's super early and I'm doing this solo as a side project. No fancy sales deck, just something I wish existed.
If you're working on organoids, metabolic pathways, genetic circuits, or anything synbio and want to kick the tires on a free early version, reply here or shoot me a DM. First bunch of people get lifetime free access and can tell me what actually needs to work better.
Real question though: what's the part of staying current on papers that frustrates you the most right now? Time sink? Hard to spot the novel angles? Replication headaches?
Appreciate any thoughts and happy to share updates as I build it out.
