AI agent — An AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.
Why it matters
LabAgent shows a concrete way to encode a lab's verified methodology so AI agents can reproduce and extend prior work even after staff turnover, reportedly outperforming commercial generalist agents across drug discovery, biomedical analysis, protein prediction, and genetics tasks.
