Software that lets research labs use AI to run experiments, control instruments, and keep auditable records of what happened.
AI-driven Lab Automation & R&D Orchestration
Recent headlines show large AI models are moving into active science: OpenAI’s GPT‑5.6 Sol is used to run quantum experiments, DeepMind published the AlphaGenome Atlas mapping DNA, ex‑DeepMind researchers are building fusion tools, and AI agents now run entire hedge funds — creating a timely need for software that safely runs instruments and keeps auditable records.
