Video management platform to unify behavioral research videos and their metadata, cutting the trust gap that was quietly invalidating studies.

BioSyft builds an AI-powered platform and behavioral testing chamber for preclinical drug research. It digitizes animal subjects during studies to reduce the variability of manual behavioral assessment across labs.

BUSINESS PROBLEM

Earning lab trust through AI-accelerated development

BioSyft needed research labs to trust and adopt the platform to prove product-market fit, but there was no existing product, design team, or precedent to build from. AI-assisted prototyping and a generated design system let me move from blank slate to shipped screens fast enough to keep pace with the business's timeline.

Users PROBLEM

Videos in one place. Tags in a spreadsheet somewhere else

Through watching technicians' behaviors, I found that trust, not features, was the real barrier. They second-guessed whether videos had actually uploaded, clicked into folders just to confirm nothing was missing, and kept a personal record on the side because they didn't trust the system to reflect reality on its own.

A mismatch invalidates an entire experiment.

Every video carries metadata that defines the experiment: sex, genotype, experimental condition, day, and more. That metadata was tagged by hand in a separate file, disconnected from the footage it described, a folder named "trial_04_final_v2" and a spreadsheet that supposedly mapped to it.

Recognizing this opportunity, we decided to ask:

How might we streamline tagging so metadata can't drift out of sync with the video it describes?

Users PROBLEM

Leading with AI-forward design to maintain velocity

AI prototyping helped me define features and test concept in one week.

There was no spec, no design team, and no precedent inside the company. So I built a customer story to ground the flow: a lab technician running a multi-day study needs an organized way to see experiments and the videos behind them, so they can trust results without keeping a parallel record of their own.

Challenges

Designing for consistency, on a  timeline

Building design system from scratch.

I used Figma MCP and Claude to generate one from just two brand colors, then applied it to build shipped screens. Every structural decision had to hold up against real edge cases engineering surfaced, like a video feeding two analyses or getting retagged after its analysis had already run. Every technician organized their files differently. The IA couldn't assume one "correct" folder structure, it had to work regardless of how a given lab already organized itself.
