Advancing Science
Through Innovation

Science should be about discovery, not bureaucracy. That's why we built SymbyAI to help scientists get back to what matters: exploring, discovering, and pushing boundaries.

Our Story

Every scientific breakthrough starts with a question. Ours was simple: "Why does peer review take months when we have the technology to do it in minutes?"

We're building SymbyAI because we believe that when researchers spend less time fighting with paperwork and more time testing hypotheses, humanity wins. It's that simple.

We're a small, passionate, fully remote team, driven by three core beliefs.

,
Discovery

Real Science Is Messy

...and that's okay. We embrace the reality that breakthrough moments rarely follow a straight line. Our founder Ashia learned this firsthand at Fermilab while developing algorithms for autonomous particle accelerators. Today, she brings that same experimental mindset to building tools that support the actual research process, not an idealized version of it.

Curiosity

Curiosity Runs Deep

We're researchers at heart. We ask questions, challenge assumptions, and sometimes go down fascinating rabbit holes. Just like the scientists we serve, we're driven by an insatiable need to understand how the world works.

Ethics

Ethics Aren't Optional

We build tools that make research better while respecting the humans behind it. No hidden agendas, just good science happening faster. Because when researchers spend less time fighting with paperwork and more time testing hypotheses, humanity wins.
