Survon Aieia is an autonomous AI agent that operates any software, monitoring system, or data tool running on a computer, exactly like a trained operator would. No APIs, no integrations, no vendor cooperation required.
Transparent, predictable pricing.
Lab software is fragmented, proprietary, and rarely designed for automation. Aieia does not need an API or an integration. It sees the screen the way an operator does and acts on it.
If your instrument software runs on a computer and a human can operate it, Aieia can operate it too. Chromatography systems, sequencers, microscope controllers, plate readers, LIMS. All supported without any configuration.
Aieia does not just log what it sees. It can detect conditions such as drift, threshold breaches, errors, and unexpected states, and execute a defined recovery or response protocol automatically, without waking an operator.
Aieia reads values, tables, charts, and readouts directly from the screen and produces clean, structured data outputs. No export API needed. Works with software that has no data export functionality at all.
From unattended overnight runs to real-time quality checks, Aieia handles the workflows that consume operator time and do not add scientific value. The examples below are just a few of the workflows Aieia can run.
Aieia monitors timelapse imaging sessions in real time, detecting thermal drift by evaluating focus quality and Z-axis values across frames. When drift is detected, it executes the recovery protocol defined by the operator: autofocus, Z-stack search, stage adjustment. The timelapse continues without interruption and without waking anyone up.
Aieia configures HPLC or GC runs according to a defined method, monitors run progress, and extracts peak data, retention times, and quantification results directly from the software interface when the run completes. Results are structured and saved locally for downstream analysis.
Aieia scans plate reader outputs, identifies wells that fall outside defined thresholds such as low signal, high background, and contamination flags, and logs them for operator review. Can also trigger a re-scan or initiate a defined response protocol for flagged wells automatically.
Aieia watches temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and other process parameters displayed in bioreactor or incubator control software. When a value drifts outside a defined range, Aieia executes the operator-defined response: adjusting setpoints, logging an alert, or initiating a corrective sequence. No operator present required.
Aieia takes a screenshot of whatever is on the instrument computer's screen, exactly as a human operator would look at it. No plugin, no driver, no API access to the instrument software. If it is visible on screen, Aieia can read it.
Enterprise-grade AI model analyzes the screenshot alongside your task instructions, identifies the current state, determines the correct next action, and checks whether prior steps succeeded. All in seconds.
Aieia uses the mouse and keyboard to interact with the instrument software: clicking buttons, entering values, navigating menus, initiating protocols, like how a trained human operator would. No special access required.
After each action, Aieia takes a new screenshot and verifies the result. It continues looping, monitoring, deciding, acting, until the task is complete, a condition is met, or an operator intervenes. Fully unattended.
Tasks can be started and stopped locally on the computer or remotely via the Aieia Web Portal. The portal is used only for task dispatch and control. All logs, extracted data, and session records remain entirely on the local instrument computer for privacy and security.
The Aieia Lab Network is a program for research institutes, university core facilities, and coworking lab spaces to offer Survon Aieia to their users as part of their instrument and facility access offering.
Member labs pay Survon directly. Users access Aieia through the institute's facility, with no individual subscription required. Institutes can offer Aieia as part of instrument booking, overnight run packages, or facility membership benefits.
The Aieia Web Portal gives facility managers visibility into running tasks across all connected instrument computers, without accessing any local data, which stays on each instrument machine.

Deploy Aieia across multiple labs. Centralised control, fully local data.
One program covers your entire instrument fleet, regardless of vendor or software.
Survon Aieia is available for licensing by instrument manufacturers and OEMs who want to offer autonomous operation, monitoring, and data extraction as a feature of their product, without building AI infrastructure themselves.
Aieia runs alongside your instrument software on the same workstation, seeing the screen and operating your software exactly as an expert user would. No changes to your software architecture are required. No API integration work. No SDK.
Aieia is designed from the ground up to keep research data where it belongs: on your local machine. The Aieia Web Portal is used only for task control. Nothing else leaves the device.
All logs, extracted data, screenshots, and session records are stored locally on the instrument computer. Nothing is uploaded to Survon servers. Your IT team and data governance policies remain in full control.
Nothing leaves the deviceThe Aieia Web Portal sends task instructions to connected devices and can stop running tasks. That is all. It cannot read logs, access extracted data, or retrieve any information from the instrument computer.
No data access via portalScreenshots and task instructions are sent to an enterprise-grade AI model to determine the next action. The AI provider operates a zero data retention policy for API usage. Data is not stored or used for model training.
Zero retention policyAieia runs directly on the workstation with no installation required. It does not run background services, does not expose network ports, and only communicates outbound over HTTPS for task instructions and AI inference.
Minimal network footprintFor labs with strict data governance requirements, Private Cloud Routing routes AI inference through your own AWS or Google Cloud account, governed by your existing cloud agreement. Contact us for details.
For enterprise deploymentsAieia pricing is straightforward: a small annual fee per device, plus a per-step usage rate. No seat licences. No platform fees. No opaque enterprise quotes.
Every action Aieia takes — clicking, typing, navigating, thinking, and extracting data from the screen — is billed as a single step. Pricing starts from USD 0.03 per step.
