Agents for Everyone: Training Communities to Use Agentic AI for Biological Curation

Summary

The Gene Ontology Consortium presents a cloud-based agentic AI environment and four-module workshop for biological database curation. Using JupyterHub and Claude Code, the setup provides browser-based access through a centralized API gateway. Thirty-seven participants progressed from basic agent use to GO-CAM pathway curation. The authors identify access, workflow design, gradual introduction, and evaluation of agent outputs as the main requirements for building shared capability in distributed scientific communities.
