Code Ocean

We’ve rolled out new improvements to Aqua, our AI agent in Code Ocean — this time with a strong focus on session management and UI experience. 💬 Persistent Chat Sessions: A new sidebar lets you view, search, rename, and organize chats, with auto-generated titles so you can easily jump back into past work. 🖥 More Flexible UI: Expand, minimize, and dock Aqua left or right to fit your workflow needs. 🎙 New Ways to Interact: Voice input via a microphone button, plus richer content rendering with clickable internal links and image previews. 🔄 Always in Sync: Auto-refresh keeps the UI updated when runs, data, or files change. Beyond the UI improvements, Aqua now has access to powerful new tools — from creating Capsules to managing environments and running git operations. Stay tuned, even more capabilities are coming to Aqua soon! #CodeOcean #Aqua #AI #DeveloperTools #UX #ProductUpdates

📢 New in Code Ocean: Support for Custom S3-Compatible Endpoints Admins can now configure custom S3 endpoints, allowing users to seamlessly create Data Assets from these sources and write Result Data Assets back—just as they would with AWS S3. This update brings full support for storage systems that expose an S3-compatible interface, including platforms like Weka, MinIO, and many others. 🌐 What this unlocks: • Flexible, vendor-agnostic data integration • Ability to use existing on-prem or cloud storage investments • Smooth read/write workflows across diverse S3-compatible systems • Greater control for admins and seamless UX for users Another powerful step toward more open, adaptable, and enterprise-friendly data workflows 📈 #CodeOcean #DataInfrastructure #CloudStorage #EnterpriseData #MLOps #DataEngineering #DevOps

📣 New in Code Ocean: Copy Environments Directly Between Capsules You can now copy the environment from another Capsule with a single click—no need to recreate it in the UI or rebuild the Docker image from scratch. What this means: 🔹 Faster setup for teams working with established workflows 🔹 Guaranteed environment reproducibility across Capsules and projects 🔹 Less time spent rebuilding environments 🔹 Smoother collaboration for teams sharing workflows Reproducible environments just got even easier. Give it a try next time you spin up a new Capsule! #CodeOcean #reproducibility #ReproducibleScience #Docker #ComputationalBiology #Bioinformatics

✨ Setting up App Panel parameters just got a whole lot easier. You can now instantly apply parameter values from a previous run directly into the App Panel by clicking “Apply to App Panel” from the timeline. No more hunting for old inputs, copying values, or recreating complex configurations. With one click, you get: 🔹 Faster setup for repeated or iterative analyses 🔹 Less manual entry and fewer errors 🔹 Smoother reproducibility across runs Give it a try today! #CodeOcean #Reproducibility #WorkflowAutomation #ScientificComputing #DataScienceTools #ComputationalScience

We’re excited to launch the Code Ocean public MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, enabling AI agents to work safely and securely within the platform. 🔐 What you get: - A safe way for AI tools to take real action in Code Ocean—always with each user’s unique permissions.  - Agents can navigate assets, troubleshoot runs, create results, and more, without ever breaking your compliance boundary.  - Every agent action benefits from Code Ocean’s industry-leading traceability and reproducibility. ⚙️ Works with the tools you already use: The MCP server is already integrated with Aqua, our built-in AI agent, and can be installed in GitHub Copilot, Cline, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and more. Wherever your AI lives, it can now securely perform actions in Code Ocean. ✨ Why it matters: This is a major step toward reproducible, secure AI-native research. We're talking faster workflows, safer automation, and real impact. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eykigkw2 Want to learn more?

🚀 We’re excited to introduce a powerful new way to customize and streamline your workflows in Code Ocean! Capsules and Pipelines can now be configured with post-run automations that trigger automatically once a run completes. This opens the door to smoother automation for tasks like Data Asset creation, metadata updates, and asset sharing. Key Highlights: ⚙️ A dedicated Automation tab in Capsule and Pipeline Settings, where you can set the Automation Capsule and choose whether it runs only upon success or always. 🕓 Clear traceability in your Timeline, with deep links between runs: “Open Automation Run” and “Automated From” for easy navigation. Your workflows just got smarter — with built-in automation from output to the next step. #CodeOcean #ReproducibleScience #Reproducibility #DataScience #ComputationalBiology #Bioinformatics

🌊 Say hello to Aqua, your new AI partner in Code Ocean! If you’ve ever dreamed of having an assistant that can build and run real analyses—securely, compliantly, and with FULL reproducibility. Now it’s a reality. Aqua is Code Ocean’s built-in AI agent. It comes with the Code Ocean MCP pre-installed, so you can simply chat with Aqua using natural language and Aqua will safely perform platform actions for you. Think of the possibilities: 💬 Attach the latest data to my RNA-seq pipeline and summarize the results. 💬 Help me debug why my environment build failed. 💬 Compare the outputs from the last two model training runs. 💬 Search for datasets related to metabolomics. 💬 When the run is finished, create a Data Asset with metadata and a complete auditable record of how the results were produced.

We’re launching Code Ocean 4.0: Trusted Agents TL;DR - Code Ocean 4.0 allows AI to execute real analyses in a secure environment with end-to-end traceability. The outcome is accelerated science, reproducible results, full provenance, and enterprise-grade governance—enabling Generative AI to be adopted at ease and at scale by pharma, biotech, and beyond. AI is rushing into computational science, but most tools break provenance, generate non-reproducible results, and are not compliant. Code Ocean 4.0 addresses this with Trusted Agents that make discovery fast and auditable. What’s coming in 4.0: 🔹 Aqua, your context-aware research partner: Our dedicated Code Ocean agent that can help find data, build workflows, run analyses, and generate metadata, with every step auto-captured with Lineage and audit trails. 🔹 Give every agent the power of Code Ocean: A public MCP server that allows agents (e.g. Aqua, Claude, Cline, GPT-5, and more) to work safely and securely within Code Ocean using your exact permissions. 🔹 What happens in your deployment stays in your deployment: All AI capabilities run securely within your VPC through built-in integration with AWS Bedrock. Nothing leaves your deployment: not data, not prompts, and not your code. 🔹 Inside every Capsule - powerful coding assistants, ready for you: Cline, a cutting-edge coding agent for developers and data scientists, pre-configured via AWS Bedrock and embedded within our VSCode Cloud Workstation.

🚀  Big news: ZS and Code Ocean are Partnering to Accelerate Reproducible Science in Regulated Environments Biopharma often needs to run analyses in regulated environments at speed. But when exploratory work must support clinical trials or regulatory filings, analyses that work in research often have to be rebuilt, documented, validated and become audit-ready before they can be used in GxP settings. That process is time-consuming, duplicates effort, slows progress and delays the outcome. By combining ZS’s compliance and validation expertise with Code Ocean’s reproducible platform, we offer a GxP turnkey solution to close that gap. 🔹 Code Ocean gives researchers a cloud platform to build, run, and share workflows in a fully reproducible environment, capturing code, data, and execution records so every analysis is traceable at scale. 🔹 ZS brings 40+ years of expertise in workflow development, validation, and scientific precision, ensuring enterprise-ready solutions that meet the strictest regulatory standards. 👉 Together, we’re making it easier for life sciences organizations to: ✅ Scale compliant, audit-ready science ✅ Accelerate discovery with GxP-ready infrastructure ✅  Free researchers to focus on science Our goal is to make science trusted, reproducible, and compliant at scale. #LifeSciences #Reproducibility #GxP #Partnership #TrustedScience

You asked, we delivered: Developing custom Pipelines in Code Ocean just got easier.
