Ginkgo Bioworks launched Ginkgo Cloud Lab, enabling researchers to utilize its autonomous lab infrastructure through a web interface. The Cloud Lab employs Reconfigurable Automation Carts (RACs) that integrate robotic arms and maglev transport systems.

An AI agent named EstiMate allows scientists to submit protocols in natural language for immediate compatibility assessments and pricing information. This initiative aligns with Ginkgo's 2026 strategy to migrate all R&D services to its Nebula lab in Boston, MA, moving away from traditional lab benches.
