Phylo
The integrated biology environment — an IDE for biologists
Phylo builds Biomni Lab, an integrated biology environment (IBE) that serves as a ChatGPT-like agentic AI interface for biological research. The platform integrates 82 biology tools, 68 databases, and 100+ software packages, allowing researchers to plan, execute, and collaborate on complex research tasks through natural language. Founded by Stanford PhD graduates and backed by Andreessen Horowitz and Menlo Ventures' Anthology Fund (created in partnership with Anthropic), Phylo has been adopted by over 4,300 organizations including 18 of the top 20 pharma companies.
