Manifold AI builds Agent OS, an enterprise agent platform for life sciences that lets organizations deploy AI agents to automate research and development workflows.
Manifold AI builds the AI platform for life sciences. Its flagship product, Agent OS, is an enterprise agent platform that bridges the gap between scientific questions and the data, tools and knowledge required to answer them, allowing life sciences teams to design and deploy AI agents for routine tasks. Alongside it sits a broader AI-powered platform that automates workflows across the research and development spectrum - from target identification and clinical development to market access and precision medicine in the clinic.
The engineering problems are of a high order: agentic systems that must operate within regulated scientific environments, data and knowledge integration across fragmented sources, and workflow automation applied to work where correctness is not negotiable. The stated aim is to augment human experts - taking routine tasks off their hands so that they can concentrate on the work only they can do. For forward deployed engineers, this means direct engagement with the scientific and clinical workflows the platform is built to serve.
The company is used by tens of thousands of users across hundreds of organizations globally. Its ranks include Foundation Medicine, the Broad Institute, UCSF, Emory University, Indiana University and the University of Virginia. Manifold AI is backed by Reach Capital, TQ Ventures, Calibrate Ventures, SilverArc Capital and Industry Ventures, and operates on a global footprint. The mission is concrete: accelerating life-changing medicines to patients.
