optimises yield without brewing coffee
You spend years running columns and hoping reagents don't explode. Data collection is next for total automation.
The one thing AI can't do
You can interpret why the unexpected colour change happened when the reaction failed.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 2
AI models ingest all lab notebooks to predict successful synthesis.
Month 3
Automated liquid handlers take over tedious reagent mixing.
Month 8
Cameras watch reactions and adjust heat to prevent runaway events.
Month 13
Robot arms perform column chromatography and collect clean fractions.
Month 18 · D-Day
Autonomous labs finalize synthesis while you pursue other interests.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
