Hey everyone,
The Bay Area Lab Automators & SF Hardware Meetup are happy to announce that the next AI x Lab Automation hack is a two part community build part as part of SF Deep Tech Week.
- June 14th - Build Day: exploring agents, mcps, and digital twins for automating workflows
- June 21-22nd - 24hr Hack on some of the latest hardware
These events are supported by Opentrons Labworks Inc. supporting with their latest flex, Cephla with their squid and biogripper, Monomer Bio with ot-2 and extra cephla, and Tetsuwan Scientific for the mentorship.
If you cannot make the hack but are still interested in seeing the projects, we’ll be hosting a Demo Day on the 22nd.
Join us! No previous experience is required, just “ganas” and our builders generally tend to have a lot of fun and learn a lot.
Cheers, Luis
We’d like to announce one more sponsor, Byonoy!
Tomorrow is Build Day in San Francisco!
This is going to be fun

Build Day is over and wow! San Francisco, California is just next level.
For Build Day the goal was to learn about MCPs and jump directly into building MCP tools for the hardware ahead of the hackathon this upcoming weekend. In building MCPs we explored & enable dnew avenues for physical AI to build agentic workflows and digital twins.
And we were able to build MCP servers as POCs.
MCP servers on top of SiLA2.
MCP servers for [redacted].
And MCP servers for [redacted]!
In the example displayed on the monitor I was able to build a simple MVP for Byonoy equipment using their SiLA2 implementation. That’s two standard interfaces stacked on top of each other and this instantly enabled me to communicate to my hardware through a host like Claude Desktop or an interactive host like Cursor or VSCode. And this is just the start…
I feel like after this hackathon, Lab Automation may never be the same.
If you’re interested in learning more about [redacted], please join us this upcoming weekend.
