Overview
The TensorBio GenAI Summarizer for Life Sciences is an AWS-ready FastAPI/Claude-powered web application that enables scientists, biotech professionals, and research informatics teams to instantly summarize PubMed abstracts, PDFs, and text into structured, markdown-formatted scientific reports.
Built by TensorBio Dynamics, LLC, this AMI runs out-of-the-box on AWS EC2 and integrates Anthropic's Claude-for-Life-Sciences reasoning capabilities for biomedical comprehension, regulatory translation, and experimental-protocol summarization.
With this AMI, you can:
Summarize PubMed papers into concise, citation-ready markdown summaries.
-
Upload and extract scientific insight from PDFs directly.
-
Convert research notes or methods into structured Protocol or regulatory templates.
-
Run your own Claude-backed summarizer privately, with your own Anthropic API key.
-
Use a sleek, responsive web interface (FastAPI + TailwindCSS) that works on desktop and mobile.
The TensorBio Dynamics, LLC GenAI Summarizer is designed for life-science researchers, biotech data scientists, and clinical teams who want Claude's domain-trained understanding without data ever leaving their own AWS environment.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Additional details
Usage instructions
Usage Instructions (AMI) Prerequisites
a) An AWS account with permission to launch EC2 instances. b) Your Anthropic API key (keep it private). This key is required for the application to function.
- Launch the instance
On this product page, click Continue to Subscribe, then Continue to Configuration.
Choose your Region and Software Version, then click Continue to Launch.
Under Choose Action, select Launch from EC2 and click Launch.
In the EC2 launch wizard:
Instance type: t3.small or larger
VPC/Subnet: your default VPC and subnet
Security group: allow TCP port 8080 from your IP (recommended). Optionally allow TCP port 22 (SSH) from your IP for troubleshooting.
Key pair: optional (only needed if you plan to connect via SSH)
- Provide your Anthropic settings (no SSH required)
In the same EC2 launch wizard, expand Advanced details, then User data, and paste the following script. Replace REPLACE_ME with your actual Anthropic API key.
#!/bin/bash set -e
Set required environment variables (no "export" needed for /etc/environment)
cat >/etc/environment <<'EOF' CLAUDE_PROVIDER=anthropic ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-REPLACE_ME ANTHROPIC_MODEL=claude-3-5-haiku-20241022 EOF
Reload environment for the running service and restart the app
systemctl restart summarizer
Click Launch instance.
Note: You can update these values later by editing /etc/environment and running sudo systemctl restart summarizer.
- Access the application
After the instance launches:
In the EC2 console, open your instance details.
Copy the Public IPv4 DNS or IP address.
Open your web browser and go to:
http://<your-public-dns>:8080/
You will see the TensorBio GenAI Summarizer interface.
You can:
Summarize by PubMed ID, paste custom text, or upload a PDF.
Download the generated summary in Markdown format.
- (Optional) Verify service health via SSH
If you allowed SSH and selected a key pair:
ssh -i <your-key.pem> ec2-user@<your-public-dns> sudo systemctl status summarizer # should show "active (running)"
Troubleshooting
Blank page or cannot connect: Ensure your security group allows inbound TCP 8080 from your IP, and that the instance is in a public subnet with an Internet Gateway.
App runs but summarization fails: Confirm that you correctly set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (without quotes) in /etc/environment, then run:
sudo systemctl restart summarizer
Changing the model: Edit /etc/environment and update the ANTHROPIC_MODEL value (for example, claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620), then restart the service.
