- Its argument contrasts fixed-protocol automation with experiments that must adapt when questions, instruments, or results change.
Field notes
The page presents the observe → hypothesize → experiment → update loop as the system’s target workflow, with a short Python-like sketch that feeds each result back into the next cycle. Its argument distinguishes this from conventional automation, which it says handles fixed protocols well but struggles when questions or instruments change; the homepage describes a build effort and links to “Early Beta Access,” but does not show a running experiment or verified capability.
