Benchling has an opt-in suite of AI-based productivity features. These features use large language models to intelligently interpret and generate natural language and make decisions.
All AI-based features are opt-in and clearly marked in the product, and your data is never used for cross-customer training or training by our AI model providers. For more information, see Data protection and security for AI at Benchling.
Enabling Benchling's AI features
Benchling AI features must be enabled by a Tenant Admin in the Tenant Admin Console. They can be enabled and disabled at any time, and can be enabled for specific users or for all users on the tenant.
To enable an AI feature in Benchling:
- Open the tenant admin console. This can be done by visiting [subdomain].benchling.com/admin/settings , or by clicking your profile picture in the bottom-left of the screen and selecting Tenant admin console.
- Click the Settings tab.
- Click AI Settings in the menu on the left.
- Find the feature you would like to enable. Consider reading the docs to better understand the feature, or enable it just for yourself to try it out.
- To enable for specific users, select Enabled for select users, then use the search box to add all users who will have the feature enabled. To enable for all users, select Enabled for all users.
- A Settings changed banner will appear. To apply the changes, click Save.
These settings can be changed at any time by visiting the page again.
