MyChemLab AI
Run real chemistry experiments safely in your browser.
MyChemLab AI turns chemistry into hands-on discovery. Mix compounds, watch reactions unfold, and get instant guidance from an AI tutor — no lab coat, no risk, no expensive equipment.
Our Story
Built by a student who believes chemistry should be for everyone
MyChemLab AI was created by Samanyu Sathyamoorthi, a student at California High School in San Ramon, California. Frustrated that so many students never get to touch a real lab, he set out to build one that anyone could open in a browser — free of cost, danger, and barriers.
What started as a personal project has grown into a platform used by students, teachers, and families around the world. The mission stays the same: make real, hands-on chemistry accessible to every learner, in every language.
