Harry Rickerby, CEO and co-founder at Briefly Bio, commented: “Scientific methods are a bit like software code; they are a set of instructions that define how an experiment should be run. The majority of this ‘code’ is incomplete, since writing up each experiment completely takes a huge amount of effort. With LLMs, there’s a way to make these methods consistent without imposing on a scientist’s workflow. As Github helped software engineers collaborate and build on each other’s code, we think Briefly can help scientists and engineers do the same with their experiments.”

Dr Gena Nikitin, Founder of Miphic. While Dr Maria Anastasina, Wet Lab Head at the Evolutionary and Synthetic Biology Unit, OIST called this “a revolution in documenting lab experiments.” It is the future of foolproof knowledge-sharing between scientists. Briefly has become a core part of our lab's knowledge base and a great help to me in training researchers and lab management.”

Shelby Newsad, an Investor at Compound, commented:“The crux of successful science lies in consistent and executable methods. Whereas most bio software companies focus on data and its analysis, Briefly goes upstream to the core problem space of reproducibility via protocols. For the first time in science history, this incentivises scientists to share more of their previously tacit knowledge. The fact that Briefly-made methods can be built and collaborated upon creates the unique potential for network effects from their software.”
