Benchling Intelligence is an opt-in suite of AI-based productivity features in Benchling. 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 Security and Privacy for Benchling Intelligence.
