AI Lab Notebook (AILN)
Your ELN is already obsolete.
Introducing the 3rd Generation of Lab Notebooks: the AILN
Your agentic AI co-scientist
The AI Lab Notebook is your new research partner, your expert AI co-scientist.
It’s powered by AI, guiding every step of discovery.
Not just a filing cabinet, not paper on glass, but a thinking research partner.
It’s Time For A Change – Don’t Wait!
Using a legacy ELN makes no sense. They:
Only record data, without guiding discovery
Are passive, slow scientists down with hard to use templates and admin
Waste time stitching together SOPs, spreadsheets, and tools
Are complex to use, click-heavy user interfaces that require extensive training
Labs using AILNs are already accelerating discovery.
What Makes an AI Lab Notebook Revolutionary?
This isn’t a software upgrade. It’s a reinvention.
Prompt, Don’t Click
Build experiments with natural language
From SOP to Study in Seconds
No friction, no wasted time
AI Agents at Work
Execute, analyze and document automatically
Science-Native
Cheminformatics, bioinformatics, structure-based design built in
ELNs document. AILNs accelerate.
The Proof

5-10x
Fewer manual steps
50%
Faster experiment cycle times
Why Sapio ELaiN AI Lab Notebook?
- Sapio ELaiN is the first true AILN — designed AI-native from the ground up.
- It works with scientists, not against them.
- Fast to deploy, fully compliant, minimal training required.
“ELaiN not only makes your research faster, it makes it more creative and impactful as well.”
Kevin Cramer, Sapio Sciences CEO
AI Lab Notebook FAQs
An Artificially Intelligent Lab Notebook — the 3rd generation of ELNs. Instead of just recording experiments, it acts as a research partner, helping scientists decide what to do next and then executing their directive.
Traditional ELNs are “paper on glass” — passive record keepers. AILNs are active collaborators. They use natural language prompts, AI agents, and built-in science tools to design, execute, analyze, and document experiments seamlessly.
Scientific discovery is accelerating. Sticking with legacy ELNs slows progress, while AILNs deliver measurable impact: faster cycle times, fewer manual steps, and higher-quality insights. Early adopters will set the pace for the next decade of R&D.
No. AILNs are prompt-driven, so scientists interact in natural language — no steep learning curve, no complex software training.
Yes. AILNs are designed for enterprise R&D environments, with full audit trails, GxP and InfoSec compliance, and secure data management.
Most start small: piloting an AILN in one program or therapeutic area. Once the benefits are proven — faster assay creation, reduced manual work, better outcomes — adoption naturally scales across the organization.
