Generate complete, publication-quality experimental protocols from your research goal. Materials, controls, statistical guidance, safety notes, and troubleshooting — all included. Built for middle schoolers through PhDs through biotech companies.
Designed for every scientific discipline
Built from the ground up for how scientists actually work — from the bench to the boardroom.
Describe your objective in plain language. Olto returns a complete experimental design — materials, reagents, controls, statistical plan, safety notes, and troubleshooting guidance. Seven refinement modes let you make it cheaper, faster, more controlled, or suitable for a teaching lab. Every output includes scoring on feasibility, controls, reproducibility, and clarity.
Seven step types including Decision Gates, Safety Checks, Parallel Blocks, and Measurements. Add duration, temperature, equipment, and expected outcomes to each step. Test run mode lets you execute a protocol live from a phone or tablet in the lab. AI simulation flags risks and estimates cost before you run it.
Unlike generic AI, the assistant remembers your prior experiments, uploaded papers, and preferences across every conversation. Ask it to interpret results, recommend next experiments, critique your controls, or draft a methods section — with full context from your research history. Powered by Claude Sonnet or Opus depending on your plan.
Full inventory management with low-stock alerts, expiry tracking, lot numbers, storage conditions, and hazard classifications. Build a library of custom step types for lab-specific instruments and workflows. Link inventory to protocols so you can check stock before you start an experiment.
From middle schoolers doing their first science project to biotech companies designing clinical trials.
“We were spending two to three weeks designing each new experimental arm for our KRAS inhibitor screen. Olto compressed that to an afternoon. The statistical planning alone — power calculations, the multiple comparison corrections — used to require a dedicated biostatistics consultation. Now it's built into every protocol we generate.”
“Olto catches things I'd miss at midnight — isotype controls, housekeeping genes, the right normalization strategy. My PI noticed the protocols looked more rigorous before I even told him I was using it.”
“We run a tight lab with high throughput. The AI assistant actually learns our preferences over time. It feels like a very well-read lab manager.”
“The manual protocol designer is what sold us. I can build proprietary assays step-by-step, flag the critical steps, run the simulation, and have a QC-reviewed document ready for our regulatory team. It replaced a LIMS workflow we were paying six figures for.”
Built with institutional security requirements as a baseline, not an afterthought. Sensitive IP and patient-adjacent data handled with full compliance.
