Meet Beaker — an app that streamlines experimental protocols for scientists by shortening prep time and providing a spoken interface for step-by-step guidance, note-taking, and progress tracking. Beaker uses on-device Edge AI, so it’s instantly ready to go. Labs don’t need to set up or maintain inference servers, and scientists can use it even in hands-free environments with no internet access. Three easy use cases: upload a protocol document to automatically generate steps; use voice commands for guidance and note-taking during experiments; and track progress effortlessly — cutting logging time by up to sevenfold. Beaker keeps protocol progress stored locally for each experiment, helping scientists stay focused and in their flow state without breaking rhythm.
