Victor

Senior Data Scientist, Nasdaq-listed Fusion Energy Company

Genie has super-powered our data science workflow, enabling us to effortlessly transition from Julia scripts to interactive web apps. This has shortened our experimentation cycle and enhanced stakeholder understanding. Genie’s biggest strength lies in the ability to start with just a few lines of code and yet offer endless customization options, ensuring we can rapidly deploy initial versions and seamlessly scale up to even the most complex applications.

John

Head of Data, Global Analytics Firm

Genie played a crucial role in my research project. We developed a low-cost Cavity Ring-Down system, opting for Julia to communicate with our oscilloscope, laser, and microcontroller. Genie served as our interface, enabling seamless data collection, display, and downloading from a server running the script. Genie was integral in setting up a simple way for us to create a GUI that interfaced with our instrument and allowed multiple users to observe what was going on in real time.
