AI-powered lab assistant accelerates life science workflows

Cenevo thas unveiled Labguru Assistant, an AI-enabled extension to its Labguru platform, designed to give scientists real-time support across their laboratory workflows. By integrating AI directly into Labguru, the assistant helps researchers plan experiments, analyse complex data, and troubleshoot protocols - all without leaving the platform.

Recent industry research by Cenevo highlights a surge in AI adoption in laboratories, with 45% of labs planning to implement AI within two years and 75% expecting AI and machine learning to drive major workflow improvements by 2026. Labguru Assistant addresses these needs, providing predictive insights, improving sample tracking, reducing errors, and assisting in hypothesis generation.

Unlike generic chatbots, Labguru Assistant is purpose-built for life sciences. Scientists can use natural language to search across ELN entries, inventory records, and protocols, while also accessing trusted external databases for deeper scientific context. Every action is fully auditable and traceable, ensuring compliance and scientific rigour.

Jonathan Gross, Chief Product Officer at Cenevo, said: “Labguru Assistant is always on, always in context, and always accountable. By embedding AI directly into our platform, we’re helping scientists make faster, more confident decisions and enabling truly connected labs.”

Early adopters participating in the beta program reported tangible benefits, including faster protocol design, streamlined onboarding for new team members, and more efficient data interpretation. Researchers are already seeing improvements in reproducibility, collaboration, and overall lab productivity.

Labguru is a cloud-based, multimodal research-to-production platform combining ELN, LIMS, registry, and inventory management. Labguru Assistant integrates seamlessly, requiring no additional logins, installations, or software integrations.

Labguru Assistant is now available to research organisations globally.
