AminoAnalytica

The AI-Native Operating System for Protein Engineering

Design, simulate, and test your proteins 100x faster with the end-to-end no-code platform for protein engineering. Powered by Amina, our AI agent. With Amina, one protein engineer can do the work of 10. Describe what you want to achieve and Amina will handle everything else – from research and design to simulation, folding, docking, and protein characterization. It asks clarifying questions if needed, intelligently understands and performs the task, and analyzes your results within the context of your project.

👋 Hey YC! We're Abhi and Adam from AminoAnalytica.

Amina is the first AI agent for end-to-end protein engineering – instead of wrestling with hundreds of fragmented tools, scientists can now design protein therapeutics through simple conversation.

🧬 The Problem with Programmable Biology

The 2024 Nobel Prize for Chemistry went to AlphaFold - proving we can predict and design proteins like software. These biological machines could solve climate change, cure diseases, and manufacture anything we need.

But here's the reality: hundreds of new computational biology tools launch every week. Even expert researchers stick to the same old methods they know, missing breakthrough tools that could accelerate their work by months or years.

Meet Dave, your friendly neighborhood protein engineer 👨‍🔬

Dave is designing a cancer therapeutic, but his current workflow is broken:

  • Inaccessible tools → most have no UI, require specific hardware, must be built from source
  • Fragmented ecosystem → tools don't work together, requiring pages of glue code
  • Constant obsolescence → by the time he masters one tool, three better ones have launched

The result? Scientists spend more time debugging code than designing life-saving therapeutics.

🚀 Our Solution

What if you could just describe what you want in plain English?

Instead of wrestling with complex pipelines and staying up-to-date with every new tool, you simply tell Amina what protein you need and why.

🔬 What Makes Amina Different

This isn't just model hosting. Amina is trained on both scientific literature and our proprietary experience from engineering thousands of proteins for customers - it knows which tools to use when, how to chain them together, and how to interpret results. It's like having our entire computational team's expertise distilled into a single agent.

With our no-code interface, 50+ specialized tools work together seamlessly. Amina catches potential issues, suggests optimizations, and explains results in plain English.

🎯 Our Vision

Our ultimate goal is for Amina to design proteins autonomously - think JARVIS, but dedicated to discovering breakthrough therapeutics. For now, it's like having an extra bioinformatician on your team that needs less care and attention than your cell cultures.

🙏 Our Ask

If you work in biotech, pharma, or have an interest in protein engineering - we'd love your feedback on Amina.
