Daily literature triage
Reads new PubMed, bioRxiv, ChemRxiv, and patent filings. Filters against your target list. Delivers a ranked digest of the 8 papers that matter to your project, every morning at 7am local.
Saves ~6 h / week / scientist
AI workflows
The lab tasks Sciento has already automated.
Each workflow is a versioned, evaluated, observable agent program. Run them as-is, fork them, or compose them into your own pipeline.
Target identification
Given a phenotype, ranks druggable targets by literature support, structural tractability, and IP whitespace.
Competitive landscape
Continuously monitors competing pipelines, clinical trials, and grant awards. Alerts on material moves within 24h.
Hypothesis generation
Cross-reads disparate domains to propose mechanistic hypotheses, with the citations that motivated each.
PCR primer design
Validated against UCSC hg38 / mm39. Off-targets checked via Cas-OFFinder.
sgRNA design
CRISPR libraries optimised for on-target activity and minimal off-target hits.
Protocol authoring
Generates parameterised, ELN-ready protocols from a one-line intent.
Dosing & titration plans
Designs dose-response curves with statistical power baked in.
Western blot quantification
Reads gel images, segments bands, normalises to loading control, produces a publication-ready figure.
RNA-seq pipeline
Salmon → DESeq2 → GSEA. Reproducible, containerised, documented.
Microscopy analysis
Cell segmentation, colocalisation, statistics across conditions.
Mass-spec processing
From raw to ranked hits with intensity statistics and confidence scoring.
Methods section drafting
Reads your ELN. Produces a journal-ready Methods §. Citations validated against the literature.
Grant first draft
Aims, Significance, Innovation, Approach, tailored to NIH, ERC, Wellcome, or your favourite funder's template.
Reviewer-response composer
Cross-references reviewer comments with your data and drafts point-by-point rebuttals.
Lay summary
Turns the abstract into a 200-word summary your communications team can publish.
Reagent reorder
Watches inventory. Suggests reorders before a freezer runs dry. One-click PO.
IACUC / IRB drafting
Generates compliant first drafts from project metadata.
Onboarding new lab members
Personalised reading list + protocol walkthroughs.
Equipment scheduling
Coordinates shared instruments across the lab with conflict detection.
Compose your own
Workflows are just code you can read.
Author in plain English, drag-and-drop, or hand-write the DSL. All three compile to the same Temporal program, and the same eval suite runs against all of them.
