The honest brief

Edison Scientific

Kosmos runs multi-hour autonomous campaigns over ~1,500 papers per run — deeper than single-shot literature agents.

  • Every finding linked to code or citations
  • First six Kosmos runs free for academics
  • Lineage in FutureHouse's PaperQA agents
  • On-prem deployment for enterprises
  • SOC 2 Type II compliant
  • $200 per Kosmos run after the free quota
  • Synthesized conclusions ~58% accurate in validation
  • Focused on biology and chemistry domains
  • Runs take hours — built for depth, not speed

Potato

Goes beyond literature Q&A: turns AI-generated protocols into robot-executable scripts for autonomous wet-lab experiments.

  • Plans and runs the full experiment loop
  • Protocol-to-robot script generation
  • Literature search and synthesis
  • Used at major university labs
  • Free tier available
  • Early-stage, small seed funding
  • Life-sciences focus only
  • Human review still required
