Potato: The AI platform that accelerates scientific execution, using the Tater co-scientist to automate experimental design and lab protocols.

Potato delivers a closed-loop AI platform, specifically targeting life sciences research, to automate the full scientific workflow. The system, featuring its AI co-scientist Tater, translates high-level intent into reproducible, robot-ready scripts, streamlining protocol generation and data analysis. Founded in 2023 by Nick Edwards and Ryan Kosai, the Seattle-based startup secured $4.5 million in seed funding to scale its agent-driven technology. It is currently deployed at institutions like Stanford and MIT, with users reporting 8–12 hours of manual work saved per protocol draft.
