The big idea
Consumer genetic tests give you a wall of variants and risk percentages that look terrifying but mostly don't mean what you think. AI can put each result in context so you don't spiral.
How to use it
- Paste a result and ask AI: 'Is this risk meaningful or background noise?'
- Ask AI to explain what 'penetrance' and 'variant' mean
- Ask AI which results actually warrant talking to a genetic counselor
- Ask AI to remind you that 23andMe is not a medical diagnosis
Try it
If you have a genetic test result, paste one variant into AI and ask for plain-English context. If anything scares you, see a genetic counselor — not just AI.
