Jeremie
Head of Science, Evovest
Genie has been a game-changer for my Julia-based data analysis and optimization work. With Genie, I can rapidly build apps around my Julia code and disseminate my work. I'm a scientist - not a web developer - but Genie was easy to pick up thanks to its low-code framework and helpful tutorials.
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.
Charles
Physics Researcher
I used Genie to build a web-based monitoring tool for our research lab, and it was a revelation. I’m a research engineer, not a web developer, yet I found Genie to be accessible and easy to learn. Genie is excellent, stable and with a community ready to assist when you need it.
