Potato

The page describes scientific experimentation as an iterative process of generating hypotheses, running assays, interpreting data, adjusting parameters, and trying again. It says negative experiments and failures can inform scientists’ understanding.

Potato is building a high-fidelity environment where AI agents can autonomously read literature, design experiments, and control lab robots—accelerating scientific discovery at an unprecedented scale.

Potato launched Potato 2.0 with a redesigned platform, a consistent design system, and reorganized tools. The company is developing a conversational interface for invoking bots and tools in prompts.

Potato partnered with Wiley to integrate more than 25,000 peer-reviewed techniques from the Current Protocols collection into Potato.

The company offers protocols, papers, and scientific assistance, with upgrade options for optimization projects, experiment design, result analysis, and automation.

Potato is building software that connects scientific intent to lab execution, helping teams move from ideas to experiments and learning faster.

Potato builds AI-native software that helps scientists research methods, build protocols, design experiments, and improve plate-based assays in one connected workspace.
