Aitiome grades whether an environmental chemical has mechanistically-supported links to Parkinson's or Alzheimer's.

Core trick

Scores chemicals by curated evidence along reconstructed MIE-to-AO pathways, deliberately excluding bioactivity signals from the grade.

Description

Aitiome grades whether an environmental chemical has mechanistically-supported links to Parkinson's or Alzheimer's. Give it a chemical and it reconstructs the OECD-endorsed causal pathway (MIE→KE→AO), grounds each edge in queryable evidence, and grades it on curated evidence — never bioactivity, with calibrated confidence. On a curated adversarial benchmark it recovers 13/13 PD and 12/12 AD known neurotoxicants and rejects 6/6 mitochondria-active decoys with zero errors. The key finding, computed live from our own data: bioactivity is anti-diagnostic — every activity signal separating real neurotoxicants from decoys is at or below chance, while the curated rule is perfect. It ships the discovery limits as an honest map, adds a wet-lab candidate-triage queue, and exposes the whole engine over MCP for agents. It also includes a methods study: adversarial RLM surfaced ~10× more counter-evidence than RAG.

Give Aitiome a chemical and it reconstructs the OECD-endorsed causal pathway — molecular initiating
event (MIE) → key events (KE) → adverse outcome (AO) — to a Parkinson's or Alzheimer's hallmark, grades it
on **curated evidence (never bioactivity)**, and rates its confidence. It proves itself two ways at once: it
**recovers** the known neurotoxicants on the endorsed scaffold, and it **refuses to be fooled** by bioactive
compounds that are not neurotoxic.

It is **not** a system that claims to discover novel neurodegeneration-causing chemicals. It is transparent
about exactly where AI-driven discovery is, and is not, possible on this chemical class — and it ships that
honesty as a feature.

## ▶ Try it live

- **App → https://aitiome.fly.dev**
- **Presentation deck → https://aitiome.fly.dev/presentation.pdf**

Click a **known neurotoxicant** to watch the endorsed cascade reconstruct and ignite the vulnerable
dopaminergic-neuron terminal. Click a **bioactive decoy** to see it withheld and rejected on independent
lines of evidence.
