I love that it shows what it's doing behind the scenes. The 'aha' moment for me came when it generated the critical questions to think more deeply about my experiments.

Includes: robot-ready scripts, plate maps, dispense plans, implementation support
Literature add-ons
Teams needing deeper protocol and paper access
Includes: Private collections, expanded uploads, premium protocol content
Custom packages
Enterprise customers can combine design capacity, automation integration, private literature, and deployment support into a single annual agreement.
FAQs
What is an Optimizer project?
An Optimizer project is a single optimization effort on one source protocol with a defined scientific objective. It covers parameter and constraint selection, generated designs, result analysis, and next-round recommendations.
What is an experimental design round?
A design round is one generated experiment design, next-round recommendation, or comparable optimization step.
Can I buy more projects?
Yes. Paid plans include a base amount of optimization capacity. Teams can add more optimization project packs with design rounds.
What is Bayesian optimization?
Bayesian optimization is a statistical model that evaluates data from previous runs and proposes a new design to find the best conditions.
Does Potato+ include Bayesian optimization?
No. Potato+ includes experimental design and top condition recommendations based on a single round of data. Bayesian optimization for data driven designs is included in PotatoPro and Enterprise.
Does Potato generate robot scripts?
PotatoPro includes a standard automation export pack where supported. Enterprise can include custom robot and instrument integrations.
Can Potato be deployed in our environment?
Customer-controlled or dedicated deployment options are available through Enterprise packages.
