At BenchSci, 2025 marked a shift in how we work.
We operate in a science-first, highly regulated environment, where trust and accountability are non-negotiable. The work we support carries real consequences, which shapes how we adopt and apply new technology.
In early 2025, we made a deliberate decision: if we were going to help scientists across the world harness AI responsibly, we needed to fully, concretely, and responsibly adopt AI ourselves—across our workflows, teams, and business.
Over the past year, we moved from isolated use of AI tools to a company-wide effort to reduce friction and reclaim capacity. As of the end of 2025, AI tools are saving our team nearly half a day per person per week on average—reclaiming tens of thousands of hours annually for more strategic, high-impact work. That progress didn’t just come from using AI to complete existing tasks faster, but from rethinking workflows, removing unnecessary work, and using AI where it meaningfully improves quality and efficiency.
Our 2025 AI Impact Report captures what that transformation actually looked like—from building AI fluency and setting clear guardrails to investing in the foundational systems required to use AI responsibly at scale.
We’re sharing this report publicly because AI adoption is moving faster than most organizations can realistically absorb. Being both an AI builder and an AI adopter gives us a unique perspective—and a responsibility to be transparent about what works, what doesn’t, and what it truly takes to integrate AI into real scientific and business workflows.
The 2025 AI Impact Report is a snapshot of this moment: our progress, our lessons, and how we’re preparing to accelerate responsibly in 2026. AI isn’t the goal—accelerating the discovery of lifesaving medicine is. AI is simply one of the tools helping us get there.
