Omic end-to-end investigation: the no-cry onion (recorded 2026-09-08 on Omic Discover)

[00:00] Can you engineer an onion that doesn’t make you cry, and still tastes like an onion? One question. Omic Discover, start to finish.
[00:04] The question, exactly as typed. No prompt engineering.
[00:10] Omic plans four stages: search, read, hypothesize, synthesize. Then it starts.
[00:16] 842 raw results from six databases, ranked to 25 papers. Every one numbered.
[00:23] Three mechanisms for what happens to flavor when the tear enzyme is silenced. Scored 8.0, 7.3, 7.0.
[00:31] The answer: no-cry onions already exist. Nobody has proven they taste the same.
[00:39] The gap, and the experiment that closes it: trained panel, triangle tests, raw and cooked.
[00:47] Same question. Same model. What it starts from is the difference. omic.ai
