{"id":92621,"title":"Fluidize: AI-powered R\u0026D","tagline":"Helping scientists and engineers run experiments with AI","body":"👋 Hey everyone!\\\n\\\nWe’re [Alex](https://www.linkedin.com/in/victoralexfleury/), [Henry](https://www.linkedin.com/in/henrybae/), and [Jamin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamin-liu-255277163/) - co-founders of [Fluidize](https://fluidize.ai/).\\\n\\\n**TL;DR:** \\\n**Fluidize accelerates R\u0026D for scientists and engineers by using AI to run simulations and experiments.** Our platform speeds up development pipelines by automating setup, execution, validation, and scaling.\\\n\\\n**Our ask**: Can you introduce us to engineering teams in the aerospace, energy, automotive, and materials industries struggling with slow R\u0026D?\\\n\\\n**Contact us: [founders@fluidize.ai](mailto:founders@fluidize.ai)**\\\n\\\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Tm7ha9APAs\\\n\\\n❌ **The Problem:** \\\n**Today’s tools are still slow and disjointed.** In our physics research at Harvard, we wasted weeks navigating incomplete setup instructions, fixing broken dependencies, and duct-taping legacy tools together. That time should have been dedicated towards **actual** science.\\\n\\\n🌟 **Our Solution:**\\\nFluidize uses AI to accelerate R\u0026D while keeping scientists and engineers in control of critical decisions. Our platform offers:\n\n* **Simplicity**: Turn any sequence (e.g. mesh → solver → validate) into a clear visual pipeline.\n* **Automation:** Use natural language to guide AI agents to set up, parameterize, execute, and validate simulations or experiments.\n* **Reproducibility:** Save your pipelines and easily share it to your team or the world.\n* **Scalability:** Prototype locally, then scale seamlessly to cloud or cluster environments.\n* **Transparency:** View and edit all underlying source code for full control.\n\n**Our Team:**\\\nWe are three Harvard concurrent master’s graduates in CS and Physics with experience at NASA, Lincoln Labs, and Harvard physics/applied AI research.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=92621\u0026key=user_uploads/1874285/70b41c61-78ba-49ae-8a9b-eb91d146004c)\n\n\\\n**We’re on a mission to accelerate scientific discovery by removing the barriers between ideas and execution.
