Protein design tools like RFdiffusion are incredibly powerful but quite tricky to use for non researchers. We built a chat interface where you describe a protein in plain English — "make something that looks like a donut" — and a Gemini agent translates that into RFdiffusion runs, iterates on the designs using its multimodal vision capabilities (renders .pngs with PyMol), and shows you the results in a 3D viewer with a timeline slider. The backend is a FastAPI server that manages jobs and runs Gemini as a subagent. The frontend is a Next.js chat app with gemini from openrouter and Vercel AI SDK streaming.
