anilogy
Interactive, sourced figures for biology and medicine. Describe the mechanism, then explore it, cite it and export it.
Built for researchers, teachers and students. Every number on screen carries its source, and each figure says what is established, what is one leading model, and what is only schematic.
3 free figures every month. Powered by Anima, the free open-source Claude Code skill (MIT).
Semaglutide · GLP-1 mechanism — open live figure ↗Built for research
For papers and preprints
Save a 2× PNG of any figure, copy a citation or BibTeX entry, and download the standalone HTML to share as supplementary material.
For talks and teaching
Record a GIF or MP4 of the live figure for slides, posters and lecture notes (Pro). Students can pause it, toggle the mechanism and hover for sources.
Honest by design
Numbers are cited with species, conditions and units, and left out when they cannot be verified. Rodent work, human work and one leading model are kept apart.
Check before you publish
Figures are generated by AI. Treat the sources listed inside each figure as the starting point, and verify them against the primary literature.
Two questions, answered in 15 seconds
Cocaine vs amphetamine
Both raise dopamine in the synapse. They do it in very different ways. Mechanism only.
When dopamine signaling changes
D1 raises cAMP, D2 lowers it. Block one and watch the signal flip.

The rules it works to
- Real structure first. A metaphor is allowed only when labelled as one.
- Every number is cited, with species, conditions and units. Unverified numbers are left out.
- Honest about certainty. Established biology, one leading model, rodent work and human work are kept apart.
- Mechanism only for drugs. No doses, routes, schedules or recommendations. Educational, not medical advice.
