Enabling Composable Agentic Systems for Biomedical Research
BioContextAI is an open-source initiative that bridges the gap between Large Language Models (LLMs) and specialized biomedical knowledge. We're building the infrastructure for reliable, composable AI agents that can access validated scientific resources without hallucinations or fragmented implementations.
Transform biomedical research by making AI systems more reliable, interconnected, and accessible through standardized access to domain-specific knowledge bases and tools.
Current biomedical AI systems suffer from:
- Hallucinations and unreliable outputs
- Fragmented solutions limited to specific applications
- Lack of access to specialized databases and validated resources
- Reinvention overhead - developers constantly rebuilding the same integration layers
We leverage the emerging Model Context Protocol standard to create composable, interoperable biomedical AI tools that can be mixed and matched across different LLM providers and applications.
