bio_*Product
BioPlot.ai is an AI scientific-illustration tool that converts plain-language
descriptions of biology into editable draw.io pathway figures you own.
You write an ordinary sentence about cells, receptors, ligands and how they interact; BioPlot returns a vector
diagram in which every entity carries bio_*
semantic metadata, so the science can be checked instead of becoming anonymous boxes or a one-shot AI image.
Built for the boring loop labs know: redraw the same receptor schematic for every manuscript, grant or slide — or lose the figure when a clipart seat ends. Description is the source of truth; the vector file is the deliverable.
| Category | AI scientific illustration / editable biological pathway scenes |

| Output | Native draw.io (diagrams.net) XML; SVG and PDF vector export you keep |
| Semantics | bio_* on every biological entity — science can be checked |
| Editor | draw.io-based browser canvas · invite-only beta |
| Price | $4.99 USD one-time for first 100 founders (lifetime); waitlist free |
| Built for | University and biotech labs producing pathway / mechanism figures |

Example
A sentence draws the membrane, the cascade, and the nucleus. Names stay short. The vector stays editable.
Receptor through the bilayer. RAS at the inner leaflet. MEK1 above MEK2. Inhibitors are words, not icons.
Workflow
Built for labs that redraw mechanisms — not another sticker subscription.
Cells, receptors, activation or inhibition — plain English or Chinese.
AI reads intent; rules engine lays out a journal-clean pathway diagram.
Tweak arrows and labels in draw.io; export SVG/PDF you keep.
Change a dashed inhibition line without renewing a clipart seat.
bio_* metadata so science — not just pixels — can be checked.
Rules constrain spacing and style so it still reads as a pathway figure.

FAQ
A native draw.io file. Rename a receptor, restyle an arrow, then export SVG or PDF. The file stays yours.
bio_*?Meaning on every shape — cell, receptor, kinase, ligand — so the figure can be checked, not only looked at.
BioRender is a paid icon canvas. BioPlot is a sentence in and an editable vector out, with bio_* and a file you keep.
Same editor. BioPlot adds plain-language pathway layout and biological stencils. Plain draw.io has no bio_*.
First 100 founders: $4.99 once. The waitlist is free. There is no monthly fee, and publishing is not locked to a seat.
Yes. SVG, PDF, and the draw.io file are yours. A subscription is not required to keep the export.
