Scientists spend 4–6 hours/day on manual visual assays, delaying discovery and introducing variability, the deck cites 70% of scientists failing to reproduce others' work and ~$28B/yr in lost opportunity from irreproducible research.

Countify is a platform for building custom AI "lab assistants" that autonomously run the end-to-end visual-analysis workflow, capture, analyze, report, for life-science research. It retrofits into any existing imaging device with no coding or annotation, and reports ~5 hours of manual work saved per hour on the platform. Sold as an hourly "Agent-as-a-Service" to small and medium labs lacking automation.
Scientists spend 4–6 hours/day on manual visual assays, delaying discovery and introducing variability, the deck cites 70% of scientists failing to reproduce others' work and ~$28B/yr in lost opportunity from irreproducible research.
A platform to create custom AI lab assistants that autonomously capture, analyze and report, retrofitting into any imaging device with zero coding or annotations, a claimed ~5x time saving on visual-analysis tasks.
Our vision
Grow from AI-native software for independent labs toward embedded hardware (via NVIDIA) for high-throughput labs, then AR autonomous labs, humanoid lab robots, and OEM partnerships.
Seed · Closed
Move from MVP to science grade platform with full AI native and agentic capabilities. Actively negotiating enterprise deals, need funding to accelerate distribution and infra capabilities.
