Bridging Plant Science with Powerful AI Tools
Three integrated components that transform how you approach biotechnology research and development.
Pain, Remedy, Payoff
See what FranTechAI does for each kind of user.
| User Type | Pain | FranTechAI Delivers | ROI |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cultivators | Can't afford full-time agronomist; each mistake can kill a harvest. | Personalised soil-to-harvest plans • 24/7 issue diagnosis in 25+ languages • Snap a photo, get expert analysis. | Save €5•10k/yr consulting • avoid at least one failed cycle. |
| Start-ups / Founders | Need credible R&D but no budget for a €150k/yr CSO. | On-demand CSO: designs experiments, flags IP pitfalls, suggests asymmetric strategy. | Looks like a €150k/yr hire for <1% cost • boosts investor confidence. |
| Investors | Decks look great but how to sanity-check the tech? | Instant technical DD, financial red-flag detection. | Go no-go in hours not weeks • one bad deal avoided = €100k+ saved. |
| Processors / Labs | Regulations keep shifting • each new extract spec = weeks of re-work. | Generate GMP-ready SOPs • regulatory risk alerts. | Cut R&D cycle time 70% • avert legal exposure. |
| Academics / Students | 300 new papers a year and can't read them all. | Literature distillation • protocol generation • reasoning path accountability and citation discipline. | 10× faster lit-review • 2× faster publishable results. |
*Estimates based on typical use cases. Always verify ROI calculations in your own context.
Why FranTechAI?
Fractional CSO on demand, no need of €150k/yr salary.
Modular & affordable tiers.
24/7 answers in 25+ languages.
Long-term memory means the AI will evolve with your projects.
Built on Francesco's logic and IP no generic AI fluff.
Hallucination-reduction engine & confidence scoring.
10 years of R&D distilled into the AI plus one year of testing in high-stakes projects.
Privacy first, your data is not used to improve the LLM models and Francesco cannot see your conversation or output of the machine
Closed-Loop AI Scientific Workflow
Our AI-powered workflow creates a continuous cycle of research, analysis, and improvement to accelerate your R&D process.
Note: The conversation begins with clarifying questions while answers are rooted on cited sources. The system labels statements as Factual / Inferred / Speculative, and shows confidence scores.
Francesco Tonolo, MSc | Plant-Biotech Strategist
I fuse genetics, biotechnology and agronomy to deliver research that is both scientifically rigorous and commercially useful.
Ten years of successful R&D delivered in two modes
• In-house leadership:
R&D Coordinator • Leiden University; Research Scientist & Lab Manager • Puregene AG; CSO • Ambra SRL; Scientific Advisor • Linnaeus Competence Center gGmbH; Innovation Advisor • German Federal Association for Sustainability.
• Contract research:
Full project design-to-data packages for firms such as F1SeedTech BV, Holland Biodiversity BV and others.
Principal investigator: on plant domestication and evolution, polyploid & double-haploid breeding, endophyte-insect-plant interactions across various crop species. Findings published in Frontiers in Plant Science and related journals.
Degrees: BSc Biology & Biotechnology (University of Camerino) • MSc Molecular Genetics (Leiden University)
Data foundation and privacy: FranTechAI is powered by my own know-how and open-access literature only. No client-specific datasets were used to train or fine-tune the platform, and anything you upload remains confined to your private workspace.
