Welcome to Lab Belay Newsletter
We are incredibly excited to officially launch this newsletter space on April 1st, 2026. We anticipate we will be posting every other Wednesday, highlighting feature walkthroughs, client stories, and updates on what is in development. This week, we'll recap what Lab Belay does that is so unique. The year has been extremely exciting for the Lab Belay team, so far working with folks in six cities and three states. Lab Belay has been designed to solve problems for scientists and lab operations folks by automating routine tasks and accelerating research via our network of specialized, biotech-focused AI agents managed by Beaker. In our platform, you can manage equipment, chemicals, and tasks; internal documents like SOPs and protocols; and design new research. Save money by not redoing work, wasting time doing data entry or searching for information, or risking results with uncalibrated equipment or a misread protocol. Today is the day you can reach out and get started on your Lab Belay journey with us.
What is Lab Belay and How can it help?
In a collection of firsts, Beaker—our main Lab Belay agent—sits in a class of its own. Beaker manages a suite of specific agents that can: pull information from equipment manuals or chemical safety information, give reports on task assignments, query your internal knowledge library of journal articles, SOPs, and protocols; suggest gold-standard responses to procedural questions (NIH policy documentation or NIST laser safety training) and remind you when you need to schedule pipette calibrations. All this via a user-friendly chat interface using natural language. Accelerate your science!
Get Started Quickly with your onboarding
Gone are the days of losing weeks of time to onboarding or switching software programs. Lab Belay can help you integrate information spread across numerous spreadsheets and services into one platform. Upload a spreadsheet with your equipment, tasks, and chemicals—including your last service dates, quantities, and locations—and Beaker will read whatever you have, in whatever format, and format it perfectly into our sleek, modern interface. Upload dozens or hundreds of journal articles, internal SOPs, and protocols, and Beaker will handle the rest. Whitelist your journals and manufacturers so that Beaker can go find that part number for you, or pull information from the newest paper in your field. Get yourself onboarded as soon as today. Schedule a virtual demo with our product account team, be completely up and running in 48 hours, and then receive useful in-person or virtual training for your team.
