Hi all, I wanted to share something I built and get feedback from people with experience in these workflows.
LabQuery puts a natural language interface in front of your LIMS and liquid handler. You type a question or command and get a real answer backed by your LIMS and liquid handler. Examples:
-
“How many CEL samples do I have available?”
-
“Where is sample C6OT0FN3S?”
-
“Run the CEL/DNA protocol on these samples”
It runs on top of PyLabRobot and supports Benchling, eLabJournal, and a local SQLite backend, with Opentrons, Tecan, and Hamilton liquid handler backends (simulated for now, hardware integration in progress). Built on Claude’s function-calling API and PyLabRobot.
This started as a personal project, and I wanted to see if I could expand it into something genuinely useful. No suggestion is too big or too small. If you think this is unnecessary, would work better as something different entirely, or did one specific thing differently, I would love to hear from you.
Thanks!
