Claude-powered assistants for data entry, notebook review and SQL queries in lab software
Benchling's lab software cut scientists' data questions from hours to seconds with Claude-based assistants
Problem
Scientists using Benchling's R&D platform spent much of their time capturing and aggregating data from study reports and instrument files. Getting answers from databases needed SQL skills or help from others.
Approach
Benchling built three assistants into its platform on Claude in Amazon Bedrock. Data Entry Assistant turns unstructured reports and instrument files into structured records. Notebook Check does a first review of scientific documentation and flags errors and missing data before a person reviews it. SQL Assistant turns plain-English requests into database queries and dashboards.
Results
Takeaway
Benchling put AI into the steps of lab work that eat the most time, such as data entry, first-pass review and querying, and left final review to people.
