The ALN of the Era.
Autonomous. Agentic. Augmented.
Move beyond static digital notebooks and passive dictation. The ALN brings real-time voice-to-voice AI collaboration—fetching information, calculating at the bench, logging changes to protocols, and inspecting device images directly into an autonomously compiled single-source-of-truth experiment report.
Immutable Individual Logs to Unified Source-of-Truth Reports
Scientists speak naturally at the bench. Beaker AI captures every observation into an immutable, timestamped stream—then autonomously and continuously collates a cohesive, multi-layered source-of-truth report synthesizing everything across your scientific stack without needing manual clicks to compile. Truth resides directly from internal logging and contextual understanding.
What the “A” in ALN Stands For
Legacy ELNs are passive digital paper. Lab Belay's ALN replaces static notebooks with three active pillars built specifically for fast-moving bench science:
Autonomous
Autonomous Syncing of Information
Information syncs automatically across your scientific stack without manual data entry. Bench dialogues, protocol adaptations, chemical lot deductions, IoT sensor readings, and experimental conclusions are continuously collated into unified, publication-grade records.
Agentic
Agentic Control of In-Lab Action
Agentic intelligence proactively manages multiple types of actions from inside the lab. Dispatch maintenance tickets, troubleshoot instruments, coordinate with colleagues, send emails, and request chemical approvals without raising a finger or walking away from the bench.
Augmented
Voice-to-Voice AI Agent Collaboration
Not passive dictation. Beaker Voice and Belay Devices provide bidirectional voice-to-voice operation: the AI agent actively collaborates by voice—fetching lab information, calculating while at the bench, logging changes to protocols, and looking at images sent from the devices.
Belay Devices & The Augmentation Loop
Belay Devices are purpose-built physical hardware designed specifically to expand the capacity of each person by bringing the most modern of capacities—the future—right to where they are at any given time. Not passive dictation, but an active, patent-pending closed loop of real-time voice, vision, and autonomous agent collaboration.
Scientist at Bench
Executing wet-lab assays, handling pipettes & reagents with gloves on, hands fully occupied.
Audio at Scientist's Ear
Real-time conversational voice responses and protocol step guidance delivered directly in-ear without looking away.
Autonomous • Agentic • Augmented
Voice & Vision Stream
Natural speech dialogue and instant Belay Device camera frames capturing labels, gels, and well plates.
Agent Tool Response
Beaker executes bench math, queries sensor telemetry, verifies SDS safety, and logs deviations into the ALN.
Expanding Human Velocity: Belay Devices remove physical barriers between scientists and modern computational power, bringing the future right to your bench.
Instant Bench Math & Deep Scientific Research Agent
Save hours of manual calculation and paper reading. Ask Beaker to calculate stock solution dilutions or conduct deep literature searches across PubMed, bioRxiv, and your internal corpus of documents.
Conversational Reagent Dilutions
Simply ask “How much 5M NaCl do I need for 250mL of 150mM buffer?” and receive exact volumetric answers.
Deep Literature & Internal Documents RAG Agent
Queries clinical trial databases, PubMed, and your internal corpus of documents with strict citation tags.
