Trying something new: moving from AI-assisted coding toward agentic engineering. Before writing code, we defined: • instructions • target architecture • phased development plan • tests for each phase The idea: give AI a clear blueprint instead of a blank page. Early experiment, but promising. #AgenticAI #SoftwareEngineering #AIforScience #ScientificComputing #GenesisMission #AI
This is a aluminum profile structure with black plastic panels with a clear window on one side and a machine vision camera facing it from the other side about 60 cm away. On top of this, rhizotron is a computer laptop that shows a camera viewing software with a live feed depicting the current window which has a tool on it

A snowy view towards mountains in the distance and down on a neighborhood with several snow covered houses and trees. White clouds and a peak of blue sky
360 images of fungi growing on petri dishes arranged by two species Fusarium and Linemannia, 3 nitrogen levels, and 12 days. Fusarium looks red and linemannia white. You can see they grow over time but reduced nitrate reduces their growth.
Shows the user interface for RhizoVision Explorer with multiple panes including options and color-coded roots in the middle based on their diameter. Include the RVE shield logo and the website rhizovision.com

Screenshot of DNS record adding the custom subdomain to the _atproto just. Success!
Screenshot of squarespace preferences with settings for domain forwarding as described in the post
A figure entitled MicrobeVision showing a pipeline with an imaging station for acquiring standardized images of a red fungal colony growing that is passed to the software showing a time-series plot of growth. The software has a logo with a blue circle filled with grey with three red overlapping circles representing a microbe colony on a petri dish.
