Work
Scheduling, integration and AI software for automated labs, from more than a decade in the field.
Updated October 2026
Client names stay private. The work is described below.
A platform that helps scientists design experiments, plans plate transfers, executes them on Echo, Opentrons and Cellario-scheduled automation, analyzes results with an AI agent through custom interfaces, and plans the next round.
A custom scheduler that links Benchling directly to lab automation, so requests, sample records and run results flow between the two without manual steps.
A bespoke laboratory information management system built around a biologics production workflow.
Bespoke software for tracking compounds, plates and locations across a lab.
Custom Benchling applications for procurement, for analyzing cell viability results, and more.
For labs: where AI will actually get you to results, and where it won't. For companies building lab automation products: where AI fits, how labs will adopt it, and how to bring it to market.
Instrument manifest
Sempervirens Automation builds Benchling integrations and Benchling apps, including a scheduler that drives lab automation directly from Benchling. If your automation is scheduled in Cellario or similar software, the integration usually connects the scheduler and Benchling rather than each instrument separately.
They can plan them well and execute them through automation, but they work best with a scientist approving each step. I build agent workflows that design experiments, write transfer files for instruments like the Echo, and analyze results, with review points for a person before anything touches a sample.
It depends. If an off-the-shelf system or Benchling fits your process, configure it. A bespoke LIMS makes sense when your workflow is unusual, such as biologics production with its own batch and release steps, and forcing it into a generic tool costs more than building to fit.

Tell me what you're trying to automate. Most of my work comes through referrals, so if a colleague sent you, mention them.
