Unchained Labs Unveils Stuntman: A New Era in Research Automation
In a remarkable advancement for the life sciences community, Unchained Labs has introduced Stuntman, an innovative automation platform that is set to transform how researchers engage with automation technology. On February 9, 2026, this next-generation tool made its debut, combining advanced natural language processing with adaptable hardware to simplify scientific workflows and enhance productivity.
Traditionally, researchers have struggled with automation systems that are rigid and complicated, reliant on fixed scripts and workflows that often hinder progress rather than facilitate it. This complexity forces scientists to spend valuable time translating their experimental ideas into lines of code or managing intricate setups, frequently requiring specialized expertise. Experiments can become cumbersome, with changes prompting significant rewrites, hardware reconfigurations, or complete overhauls. For many, automation has been more of a barrier than a boost to productivity.
Stuntman: A Game Changer
Stuntman aims to change this narrative entirely. Harnessing the power of advanced AI, it allows researchers to articulate their experimental desires in straightforward language. By processing these natural language inputs, the platform generates executable workflows that can adapt to the specific requirements of any given project. The AI component not only assists in experiment planning but also manages closed-loop automation processes and interprets outcomes, streamlining data management and organization.
The platform boasts a fully modular design, offering researchers the flexibility to create systems tailored precisely to their needs. This customizability stands in stark contrast to the traditional one-size-fits-all approach common in automation tools. From day one, teams can build a solution that truly fits their scientific goals without unnecessary constraints.
Tim Harkness, Founder and CEO of Unchained Labs, emphasizes the significance of Stuntman’s impact on the research landscape. “Automation should meet researchers where they work,” he states. “Stuntman reduces complexity, speeds iteration, and allows teams to focus on their science instead of managing their systems. It strikes a balance between simplicity and powerful functionality, all while leveraging AI effectively.”
A Commitment to Innovation
Unchained Labs has positioned itself as a leader dedicated to enhancing research capabilities within the biologics and gene therapy sectors. By providing effective automation solutions and innovative tools, the company is committed to enabling scientists to achieve their goals without the hindrance of outdated or inefficient technologies.
