The AI co-scientist
for life sciences.

Sciento reads every paper, plans the experiment, analyses the data, and drafts the manuscript — collapsing a 6-month research cycle into 6 days.

          The agent loop
          
Four specialists. One scientific intention.

        

        
Sciento orchestrates a planner, an executor, a verifier, and a writer. Each agent is bounded, audited, and replaceable. Hallucinations are caught before they leave the loop.

      


      

        

          

            01
            Planner
            
Reads the literature

            
Surveys 4M+ papers, ranks protocols by reproducibility, proposes the experimental design.

          

          

            02
            Executor
            
Designs the experiment

            
PCR primers, sgRNAs, dosing curves, sample manifests. Validates off-targets against the latest references.

          

          

            03
            Verifier
            
Audits every claim

            
An independent model checks units, statistics, citations, and reproducibility. Confidence scored at the sentence level.

          

          

            04
            Writer
            
Drafts the paper

            
Methods, Results, Discussion — fully cited, journal-formatted, ready for your edits.

          

        

      

    

  


  
  

    

      

        

          What it does
          
A system, not a chatbot.

        

        
Every Sciento workflow is composable, observable, and reversible. You see every decision the agent made — and you can undo any of them.

      


      

        

          
          
Literature triage at the scale of the field

          
Continuously ingests PubMed, bioRxiv, ChemRxiv, preprint servers, patents, and your internal ELN. Surfaces the 30 papers that actually matter to your question this week.

        

        

          
          
Protocol design

          
From cell line to readout. Branched, parameterised, ready to run.

        

        

          
          
Multi-modal analysis

          
Reads Western blots, gel images, microscopy, sequencing, mass-spec output. Statistics applied correctly the first time.

        

        

          
          
ELN & LIMS aware

          
Bidirectional sync with Benchling, LabArchives, and bespoke LIMS. Your system of record stays the source of truth.

        

        

          
          
Citations, always

          
No claim without a source. Inline.

        

        

          
          
Verifier-first reliability

          
Every output passes an independent verifier model trained specifically to catch our failure modes. We publish accuracy numbers monthly. Confidence is scored per claim, per figure, per equation — and Sciento abstains when it isn't sure.

        

      

    

  


  
  

    

      

        

          AI-native by construction
          
Not a copilot bolted onto legacy software.

        

        
Sciento was built after the agent inflection. The system of record, the orchestration layer, the eval harness — all assume autonomous agents from day one.

          “Sciento drafted the methods section for a 22-author paper in under an hour. Every citation checked out. We've since cancelled three SaaS subscriptions.”
          Dr. Aisha Rahman · PI · Helix Bio
        

        

          “We replaced a 4-person literature-review team with one Sciento workspace. The team didn't disappear — they're running experiments now.”
