Translate biological intent into lab execution

Potato builds AI-native software that helps scientific teams move from idea to experimentally validated results.

Our agents and tools help researchers design experiments, generate protocols, prepare lab automation-ready outputs, analyze results, and decide what to run next.

The bottleneck is experimental execution.

AIis expanding what scientific teams can imagine
Lab roboticsis expanding what labs can run
The constraint is now the interface between the two

That shift is showing up across the broader conversation around autonomous labs and AI scientist systems.

Meet The Optimizer

The Optimizer is Potato’s first product for closed-loop experiment optimization.

It helps teams design, troubleshoot, and improve plate-based experiments from first parameters to plate maps, execution-ready outputs, iterative data analysis, and next-round recommendations.

Built for ELISAs, cell-based assays, media optimization, screening preparation, and other workflows where every rerun costs time, materials, and momentum.

How it works

Define the assay, protocol, constraints, and performance metric the team wants to improve.

Let The Optimizer identify the parameters that might affect performance, then decide which factors to vary and which to hold constant.

Generate an experiment design that tests multiple variables at once, so you learn more from fewer runs.

Create the protocol, condition table, plate map, and liquid-handler-ready outputs needed to execute the experiment.

Rank conditions against the chosen metric, such as Z-prime, signal-to-noise, signal-to-background, or other assay-specific criteria.

Review ranked recommendations, carry the selected conditions and the rationale forward, so the next experiment starts from what the team just learned, not from scratch.

Potato produces highly accurate drafts that need just 45 minutes of review and polishing.
It saves me 8-12 hours of manual work on every protocol.

Built for teams turning scientific possibility into executable work

Pharma R&D teams

Move faster from promising biology to usable experimental workflows.

CROs

Standardize optimization work and deliver clearer, more traceable client-ready outputs.

Assay &
automation teams

Bring experimental design and execution constraints into the same workflow earlier.

AI & autonomous
lab teams

Connect model-generated ideas to experiments that can run, learn, and improve.

Build the next experimental loop with Potato.

Potato is building the tools for scientific teams that need to move from biological intent to executable work.

The Optimizer is opening for early access with selected pharma, biotech, CRO, automation, and AI-driven science teams.

If your team is spending too many cycles turning experimental plans into executable work, or running more assay iterations than the science should require, Potato is here to help.
