A daily inventory agent that tracks lab reagents from experiment notes
nlarusstone · x · 2026-10-29
Day 10 of 'An agent a day keeps Phase 2 failures away': an agent that keeps lab inventory up to date automatically. It reads each day's experiment records, updates usage of plates/reagents/stocks, flags expired items, and queues reorder requests for approval when stocks run low.
The author shares a ready-to-tweak sample prompt; the key idea is syncing inventory from existing notebook entries so no extra manual bookkeeping is needed.
