Tesela AI
AI agents for DNA library design, assembly protocol generation, biomolecule optimization, and experimental analysis in biological R&D.
Overview
Tesela AI is an agentic co-scientist platform for biological R&D, developed by TeselaGen. It deploys specialized autonomous AI agents that design DNA libraries, generate assembly protocols, optimize biomolecules, and analyze experimental data — executing real scientific algorithms rather than simply generating text. Tesela AI is built for research scientists, computational biologists, and lab automation teams working across the full Design-Build-Test-Discover (DBTL) cycle.
The platform is accessible natively within the TeselaGen Platform (including Community Edition), through direct ELN/LIMS integrations, via a Python SDK and REST API, and — coming soon — through Model Context Protocol (MCP) connections to AI hosts such as Claude or ChatGPT. A free tier offering 100 agent runs per month is available with no credit card required.
Library Designer Agent
- Accepts natural language descriptions or existing sequence registry inputs to create combinatorial DNA libraries
- Supports multiple assembly strategies including Golden Gate, Gibson, MoClo, USER, and PCR
- Automatically reuses parts from your existing registry and identifies parts from public databases
- Generates simple or combinatorial library designs with part cost estimates, capable of producing up to 384-variant libraries in minutes
Library Construction Optimizer Agent
- Automatically generates complete, assembly-ready protocols including primer design with Tm calculation and validation
- Produces automatic plate map generation and PCR assignment
- Performs zone gradient thermocycler optimization and optimization of assembly protocol parameters
- Optimizes assembly overhangs and supports codon adaptation for protein expression
- Generates worklists compatible with lab automation equipment, eliminating manual protocol writing
Experiment Optimizer Agent
- Powered by TeselaGen's patented Synthetic Evolution® machine learning engine, delivering 10x faster convergence than random screening approaches
- Analyzes experimental results and predicts top-performing variants for yield, titer, or binding affinity
- Employs generative models to propose novel sequence leads
- Provides automated DBTL cycle recommendations to close experimental loops faster
- Supports custom ML model training on proprietary experimental data
Data Analyst Agent
- Ingests multi-format data from plate readers, sequencers, and analytical instruments (CSV, Excel, instrument-native formats)
- Performs automated statistical analysis and visualization of experimental results
- Carries out sequence alignment and validation for both Sanger and NGS data
- Recommends next experimental steps based on defined objectives, turning raw data into actionable insights
Workflow Designer Agent (Coming Soon)
- Orchestrates end-to-end experimental workflows by composing protocol steps from Library Designer and Library Construction Optimizer outputs
- Generates high-throughput worklists for liquid handlers including Tecan, Hamilton, Echo, and Biomek
- Supports multi-plate experiment orchestration and tracking
- Integrates with LIMS and lab automation systems
- Provides real-time execution monitoring and error handling
Integration and Connectivity Options
- TeselaGen Platform (Native): AI agents work directly with sequences, designs, and experimental data within the platform, including the Community Edition
- ELN/LIMS Integration: Scientists can invoke AI agents without leaving their electronic notebook; agents read sequences, registry data, and assay results, then write designs and protocols back automatically
- Python SDK and REST API: Full programmatic access to all agent capabilities for computational biologists working in code
- Model Context Protocol (MCP, Coming Soon): Connects Tesela AI to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible AI host, allowing scientists to access library design, protocol generation, and optimization through their preferred AI interface
Key Differentiators
- Agents execute real scientific algorithms — including primer design, assembly optimization, sequence validation, buildability checks, and data parsing — not LLM wrappers
- Proprietary Synthetic Evolution® engine is backed by multiple issued US patents on AI-accelerated biotech
- Platform-agnostic architecture works with many ELNs and LIMS, or standalone, without requiring tool switching
- Covers the full integrated DBTL loop so that each experiment automatically informs the next
Tesela AI is designed to be platform-agnostic and fits into existing laboratory infrastructure through flexible API, SDK, and MCP connectivity. It is suitable for teams seeking to accelerate biological R&D without replacing their current ELN, LIMS, or automation stack.
