What the publisher says

OpenReadout
OpenReadout is an open-source reader for lab-instrument files, designed for AI agents.
Give AI agents full access to raw data from microscopes, mass spectrometers, cytometers, electrophysiology rigs, and 90+ other instrument file formats — in one command.
Open-source. Single binary. No vendor software. No dependencies. No network access. Works everywhere.
OpenReadout makes data stored in proprietary instrument file formats readable: it pulls out the metadata, images, traces, spectra, and tables as structured JSON and renders previews so your agent can see and understand the data. Every format is validated against real data and independent libraries.
