# Introduction

> A research workspace where an AI agent can analyze data, run tools, and produce verifiable results

Biomni Lab is an AI research workspace for biomedical and life-science work. You
describe a goal in natural language; Biomni can inspect your files, search
scientific sources, write and run code, use specialized tools, and return
results in the same task.

## What you can do

Biomni supports work such as:

* literature and database research with linked sources;
* statistical analysis and publication-ready visualization;
* genomics, transcriptomics, single-cell, and multi-omics workflows;
* protein structure prediction and molecular design;
* custom Python, R, and shell-based analysis; and
* larger CPU, high-memory, GPU, or pipeline workloads.

The exact resources, models, and integrations available depend on your plan and
workspace configuration.

## How work is organized

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Projects" icon="folder-tree" href="/features/projects-and-drive">
    Group related tasks and files around a research question or dataset.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Tasks" icon="message">
    Keep one analysis or research thread in a focused conversation.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Skills" icon="flask" href="/features/skills-and-capabilities">
    Attach reusable, domain-specific workflows to a request.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Results" icon="file">
    Preview, download, and continue working with generated files.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

Every account starts with a **Quick Tasks** project for one-off work. Create
additional projects when tasks should share files, context, instructions, or
collaborators.

## What happens after you send a request

Biomni can plan the work, start an isolated cloud workspace when computation is
needed, and show its tool activity as the task progresses. Generated artifacts
appear in the conversation and Results panel. Long-running compute can continue
as background work and report back to the same task.

Biomni is an assistant, not an authority. Inspect source material, parameters,
generated files, and important conclusions. For high-stakes work, use
[Scientific Review](/features/scientific-review) and independent expert review.
