A working autonomous cell for programmable biology
Programmable Bio combines a compact autonomous R&D lab in Hyderabad with LabOS, the software layer that converts an accepted experiment into instrument operations and structured evidence.
Five responsibilities, one experimental loop
Protocol translation
Convert an approved experimental plan into versioned, machine-executable operations for the instruments available in the cell.
Capability and quote
Match requested work to validated methods, materials, capacity, and price. Human review remains in the loop for non-standard programs.
Scheduling
Coordinate instruments, plates, incubation windows, and dependencies to increase useful walkaway time and utilization.
QC and exception handling
Track controls and telemetry, pause or re-queue work when defined conditions fail, and preserve the reason for every intervention.
Provenance
Bind results to method version, instrument, reagent lot, calibration context, and executed parameters.
Experimental graph
Link design, execution, measurement, and outcome so the next computational cycle can learn from both successes and failures.
Operational cell → customer capacity → distributed fleet
We are not raising to prove that a compact autonomous lab can run. It already does. We are raising to turn that working R&D cell into reliable customer capacity.
