The BioCreative Academy
We show you exactly what we build
The BioCreative Academy is part of every agreement: full transparency, your code from day one, the concepts taught as we build, and AI fluency built in.
People matter more than ever
We do it for your team's AI fluency, not for its involvement alone. AI is great at execution, and not at the larger context and the goals of a system.
A person in the loop
In the apps and agents we build, wherever judgment is the point.
Your market and your goals
Understanding your own market, your own goals and your own vision is more powerful than ever.
Creative and strategic
Being creative, organized and strategic about your moves is more powerful than ever.
What AI can and can't do
Knowing it is why fluency matters.
We collaborate as much as we can. In every engagement, the Academy gives your team its own context in GitHub, access to the tools, and lessons made for your team.
Every model release widens the gap
Few people build with AI as a processor, and fewer still work with it as a system.
The general population
little direct contact with AI yet.
Casual users
a chatbot, a search box or a writing aid.
Frontier users
building with it in code and math, where weeks of work become one prompt.
Inside the frontier labs
a few thousand people with access to frontier systems inside the labs.
Rough shares of the world's population, from Andrej Karpathy's own estimate, October 2026.
From chat to a full operating system
Everyone is at a different point, and the gap is widening. We meet each person where they are and close it with them.
The Academy's build-along GitHub repositories establish the concepts, and they can be used from chat all the way through to advanced programs. Bringing every member of the team into the collaborative build is what we offer.
Two GitHub repositories to start with
Behind them is the same method we build client systems on: context and data first, then skills and tools, then agents in loops. Combined, they let you start building your own intelligent system.
The Academy Starter
Your own AI working system, the way BioCreative builds ours. Claude walks you through it one lesson at a time, as your builder and your teacher, and every lesson ends with a check. It runs from chat or from code.
- Your context: a CLAUDE.md, a wiki Claude keeps and your design
- Your own Supabase database, built from migrations
- Skills that read your context and data, and the tools they reach
- An agent in a loop, improving your work round by round
The LifeSci Lens Starter
Your context, applied to real life-sciences data you own. It installs into the project you built in the first kit, puts an interface on your data, and has the model apply your rules to every record.
- Clinical trials, publications and NIH grants
- SEC filings, FDA actions and news
- A new source of your own
- Your rules on every record, re-applied whenever you change them
Build along with us
Systems far more integrated, built with your team
We give these tools to our partners to gain AI fluency and see what's possible. Then we build along with them systems that reach further and connect into outbound and the pipeline.
