Benchling AI Capabilities

AI, purpose-built for every stage of R&D

Benchling AI brings intelligent agents into R&D. Built on structured scientific data, these agents reason across workflows, take action inside Benchling, and do real scientific work across every stage of discovery and development.

Benchling AI, built directly into your R&D workflows

Benchling AI is embedded directly into the workflows your teams rely on every day. Benchling Agents reason across common scientific tasks, orchestrating work and delivering actionable insights. With first-class API and MCP integrations, Benchling AI connects seamlessly to your broader AI and data ecosystem. And with simple ways to query and import data, your Benchling environment continuously grows smarter — so more data gives you deeper scientific insight.

Your new lab partner: Benchling Agents

Deep Research Agent reasons over complex data to uncover insights in minutes

Answer complex questions by reasoning over Benchling data and external sources. With Deep Research you can search across experiments in Benchling, extract information buried in technical reports and other documents, combine private data with public literature, and produce analyses to support decisions about what to try next.

Ask Agent gives you quick answers

“Has anyone done experiments like X before?” "What were tumor volumes in Study ST-042?" Ask Agent lets you query your Benchling data conversationally, so you can find experiments, aggregate results, and locate samples with ease. Ask natural language questions and get answers in 30-60 seconds.

Data Entry Agent turns messy files into structured data

Upload unstructured data from PDFs, Word documents, or spreadsheets, and let the data entry assistant orchestrate a complex set of LLM calls behind the scenes to develop a plan, process the inputs piece-by-piece, and verify the outputs across multiple models.

Compose Agent turns rough notes into polished documentation

Restructuring notes shouldn’t slow you down. Compose Agent turns messy bench notes, photos, protocol PDFs, and bullet points into clean, structured Benchling notebook entries and templates — so documentation never becomes a bottleneck.
