About
Kebotix is a Cambridge-based AI platform purpose-built for transforming how enterprises discover and develop new chemicals and materials. At its core is a self-driving lab that integrates cloud and data technologies, machine learning, physical modeling, and laboratory automation into a seamless, closed-loop R&D process. Rather than relying on slow, manual experimentation cycles, Kebotix enables researchers to continuously learn from each iteration of the predict-produce-prove workflow—dramatically compressing time-to-market for new materials and chemical innovations. The platform offers two primary solution tracks: Digital Workflows, which digitizes and streamlines existing R&D processes, and Complete Solutions, which provides end-to-end materials discovery pipelines. Kebotix's enterprise AI is customized to each client's specific materials discovery challenges, making it suitable for industries such as specialty chemicals, advanced materials, pharmaceuticals, and cleantech. Kebotix has been recognized as a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer, named to MIT Technology Review's Top 10 Breakthrough Technologies for AI-discovered molecules, listed among CB Insights' Top 100 Most Innovative AI Startups, and honored as a C&EN Top 10 Chemistry Startup to Watch. Ideal for R&D teams, chemical engineers, and materials scientists at large enterprises and research-intensive companies looking to bring better products to market faster.
