Informatics and data management company LabKey Software has launched LabKey AI, an intelligence layer built into its lab software.
LabKey AI supports the structured data model, permissioning framework and audit infrastructure that governs its lab software, including LabKey LIMS, Biologics LIMS, Sample Manager and SDMS. It lets scientists, lab managers and IT teams query, understand and act on laboratory data using plain language.
“AI is only as good as the data and rules beneath it. We have spent years building that foundation. LabKey AI is what that foundation makes possible,” said LabKey CEO Michael Gersch.
LabKey AI enables natural language querying of structured lab data, in-product documentation search, and a read-only MCP (Model Context Protocol) layer that gives technical users a second path into the same data through their own tools.
The intelligence layer is it its first phase of development, and Labkey plans to extend the same plain-language interface to streamline reporting and data management next, built on the same data, security and permissions.
