Capability comes with responsibility

AI can act.
You remain responsible.

PEAK provides a foundation for integration. Safe operation depends on how you design, test and supervise your complete system.

AI behaviour can vary

The same prompt can produce different commands. Do not assume an agent will behave identically every time.

Commands affect real hardware

Incorrect settings can damage an instrument. Assess the risks of your specific setup before enabling AI control.

People need protection

High voltage, radiation and vacuum systems require appropriate safeguards, interlocks and human oversight.

Responsibility stays with you

An AI agent does not take responsibility for your experiment. Define operating limits and who can authorise actions.

Help us shape practical training around the needs of your lab.

01 / UNDERSTAND

Connect the pieces

Agents, domain skills, MCP tools and the PEAK API: understand what each part does.

02 / ASSESS

Identify the risks

Consider unpredictable behaviour and the consequences of commands reaching hardware.

03 / PREPARE

Design for oversight

Explore testing, safeguards and human approval before moving to instrument control.

A few useful details.

Is this a course booking?

No. This survey is an expression of interest to help plan a proposed course. Dates, format and pricing have not yet been confirmed.

Does PEAK include an AI agent?

The proposed workflow combines an AI agent and tool integration with the PEAK API. The agent and MCP layer are separate integration components; they are not presented here as features supplied with PEAK.

Can we test without connecting an instrument?

The PEAK SDK includes dummy drivers for offline development and testing. This can support preparation before connecting to real hardware. Offline testing does not replace an instrument-specific risk assessment. Read about PEAK SDK & API training.
