MicrobiomeDAO agent to understand your microbiome

The problem BiomeAI solves

Problem Statement: BiomeAI Discord Bot

The Core Problem

Microbiome reports are complex, technical documents that most people can't effectively interpret or act upon.

When you receive a microbiome test result, you typically get:

  • A 50+ page technical document filled with scientific jargon
  • Raw bacterial counts and percentages without context
  • Generic recommendations that don't account for your specific lifestyle
  • No clear connection between your gut health data and daily symptoms you experience

Specific Problems Solved

1. Report Complexity & Accessibility

  • Problem: Microbiome reports use technical language that requires specialized knowledge to understand
  • Solution: BiomeAI translates complex scientific data into plain English explanations tailored to your situation

2. Lack of Personalized Context

  • Problem: Standard reports provide generic insights without considering your diet, lifestyle, symptoms, or health history
  • Solution: Structured conversation workflow that gathers your personal context (diet, energy levels, digestive issues) and integrates it with your microbiome data

3. Information Overload

  • Problem: 50+ page reports overwhelm users with too much data at once
  • Solution: AI-powered RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) system that surfaces only relevant information based on your specific questions and concerns

4. Missing Actionable Insights

  • Problem: Reports often lack clear, immediate steps you can take to improve your gut health
  • Solution: Generates specific, personalized recommendations and actionable insights based on your unique microbiome profile and lifestyle

5. No Follow-up Support

  • Problem: After receiving a report, you're left to figure out next steps on your own
  • Solution: Interactive Q&A system that lets you ask follow-up questions and dive deeper into any aspect of your results

6. Disconnected Health Picture

  • Problem: Microbiome data exists in isolation without connection to real symptoms you experience
  • Solution: Structured conversation that predicts and validates your actual diet patterns, energy levels, and digestive symptoms based on your gut bacteria profile

Target Users

  • Health-conscious individuals who want to understand their gut health but lack scientific background
  • People with digestive issues seeking personalized insights from their microbiome data
  • Wellness enthusiasts looking for actionable steps to optimize their gut health
  • Anyone overwhelmed by technical medical reports who needs expert interpretation

The BiomeAI Solution Workflow

  1. Upload: Simply upload your PDF report to Discord
  2. Context Gathering: Bot asks about your lifestyle, diet, and symptoms
  3. Intelligent Analysis: AI analyzes your report using advanced vector search
  4. Personalized Predictions: Bot predicts your diet, energy, and digestive patterns
  5. Validation: You confirm or correct the predictions
  6. Executive Summary: Comprehensive analysis combining your data with lifestyle factors
  7. Actionable Insights: Specific steps you can take immediately
  8. Ongoing Support: Ask follow-up questions anytime

Why This Matters

Microbiome health affects:

  • Digestive function and comfort
  • Energy levels and mood
  • Immune system strength
  • Nutrient absorption
  • Overall wellness and quality of life

By making microbiome data accessible and actionable, BiomeAI empowers people to take control of their gut health with science-backed, personalized guidance.

Technology Advantages

  • AI-Powered: Uses GPT-4 for sophisticated analysis and natural conversation
  • Vector Search: Instantly finds relevant information from your specific report
  • Persistent Memory: Maintains context throughout your entire conversation
  • Cost Tracking: Transparent about AI usage and costs
  • Thread-Based: Organized, private conversations for each report
  • Multi-User: Supports many users simultaneously with isolated conversations

Bottom Line: BiomeAI transforms overwhelming microbiome reports into clear, personalized action plans that actually help improve your health.

Challenges I ran into

Deploying a VM on Replit is not as easy as one would think. For some reason, the deployment would fail and the agent would not work as well as it did locally on my machine.

Eventually, I rebuilt the whole agent, constantly trying it in the VM to get it working.

Another hurdle was the Eliza framework. I found it challenging to simply pick up and start building with. So I dropped the framework and built the bot from scratch which was significantly more fun and faster (feedback for ElizaOS: your framework should be vibe-codable, currently its not - on replit at least)

Another hurdle was retaining the relevant context of the Q&A between the user and bot while also accessing the context of their microbiome report for relevant info. The report is so long (50+ pages) that dropping it into the context window was not feasible because of the API costs.

Solution: RAG and choose only relevant chunks of the report depending on user query.
