Powered by Claude Opus 4.5, Latch Agent is a bioinformatics assistant built on top of [Latch Plots](/plots/overview) that helps scientists perform multiomics data analysis and visualization.

## Key Features

* **Natural Language Interface**: Describe your analysis goals in plain English—no coding required.
* **Technology-Specific Expertise**: We partner with kit, assay, and instrument providers to deliver technology-specific analysis best practices as [skills](/agent/skills) — modular packages loaded on demand for each data type.
* **Built on Latch Plots**: Seamlessly integrates with the reactive notebook environment for interactive visualizations and transparent code execution.
* **Reproducible Analysis**: View all code, plots, and methods for every analysis step to ensure scientific rigor and reproducibility.
