The rapid explosion of large-scale, high-throughput biological data has created an urgent demand for efficient analysis pipelines. Traditional bioinformatics approaches, while powerful, often require specialized computational expertise, placing them out of reach for bench biologists. Large Language Models (LLMs) offer new possibilities for automating complex reasoning and tool integration, yet existing LLM-based solutions have not sufficiently lowered this barrier, and expert-level analysis remains inaccessible to most nonexperts. Here, we present BioGAIP, an LLM-powered agent that integrates expert-level reasoning within an end-to-end platform for bioinformatics tasks. By coupling optimized autonomous agents with full graphical interfaces, BioGAIP transforms complex analytical workflows into an automated, user-friendly, and low-intervention process with natural language input. Key features of BioGAIP include dynamic information retrieval, automatic environment configuration, and self-directed design of analysis pipelines, making large-scale multi-omics analysis highly accessible. Built on agent-based client-server architecture, BioGAIP ensures secure resource management and supports heavy computational demands. Extensive evaluations on diverse published datasets demonstrate that BioGAIP reliably recapitulates established biological insights and shows strong potential for novel discovery. By democratizing complex bioinformatics workflows, BioGAIP accelerates accessible data-driven discovery for both experts and nonexperts.
