BOSKOVSKI
Fix the food, not the people.
I’m Aleksandar Boskovski, co-founder and CEO of Alchemyst, the AI assistant for the people who design food and supplements. My bet: the fastest way to make a population healthier is to improve the food people already buy, not to lecture them about it.
The AI assistant for the people who design food: cited answers from the research and the rules.
Alchemyst works alongside R&D, regulatory and research teams at food and supplement companies and universities. Ask a formulation, regulatory or literature question and get an answer grounded in millions of peer-reviewed papers and live regulatory and safety sources. Every source is one click away, and every answer is labelled: from the sources, interpreted from them, or AI reasoning. Your team decides; Alchemyst does the digging.

WHERE IT’S GOING
An AI Workbench where a team’s own data, its projects and the science meet. Clinical-trial records, food composition data and patents are being added; our own open-weight models for food science are in development.
WHY ME
Fifteen years of turning ideas into shipped products, and a long-held conviction that better food on the shelf does more than better advice. Alchemyst is where the two meet.
Builder, operator, founder
Economics → marketing → software → companies → AI for food.Most founders point to a logo on their résumé. I’d rather point to over fifteen years of things I actually built.
I didn’t take the straight path — law, then economics and international business across Germany, the UK, and Indonesia, and somewhere in between I taught myself to make things people use. Marketing led to product, product to code, code to building the companies that ship. I co-founded two; one still runs today. None of it came with a safety net.
That whole path was an apprenticeship for Alchemyst, where I build AI for the people who design food and supplements: they make the calls, and Alchemyst does the digging through the research and the rules. I’m based in Bremen; Alchemyst, Inc. is headquartered in San Francisco.
