Could you build this?
No Automating lab instrument decision-making requires communicating with hundreds of proprietary physical scientific instruments while adhering to stringent biotech compliance standards.
What it would actually take: Requires developing custom IoT/edge hardware wrappers communicating over proprietary instrument protocols (RS-232, SiLA, vendor SDKs for liquid handlers and spectrophotometers) and integrating with an FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliant audit trail. It requires specialized laboratory automation engineers and biomedical informatics experts.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
