Smpltrax presents Ask Mikey™ — an OpenClaw-powered Cannabis LIMS intelligent agent that goes far beyond a simple chatbot. Built on the same open-source autonomous AI framework that has taken the developer world by storm, Ask Mikey™ is a fully agentic, natural language interface purpose-built for the Smpltrax LIMS ecosystem.

Unlike traditional chatbots that merely answer questions, Ask Mikey™ is an autonomous agent that actually does things. Powered by OpenClaw’s skills platform and persistent memory architecture, Ask Mikey™ understands the full context of your laboratory’s operations — from sample intake and panel assignments to COA generation and compliance reporting. Ask it a plain-English question about any aspect of the Smpltrax LIMS, no matter how granular, and get instant, accurate answers drawn directly from your live laboratory data.

 

What makes Ask Mikey™ different:

  • True Agentic Execution — Ask Mikey™ doesn’t just retrieve information — it takes action. Leveraging OpenClaw’s autonomous task execution engine, authorized users can instruct Mikey to add testing panels to specific samples, regenerate Certificates of Analysis, update sample statuses, trigger batch workflows, and much more — all through natural conversation.
  • Custom Skills Built for Cannabis Testing — Powered by OpenClaw’s extensible skills framework, Ask Mikey™ ships with a library of Smpltrax-specific skills covering every major LIMS workflow: sample management, test result entry, instrument integration queries, compliance checks, client and project lookups, invoicing status, and report generation.
  • Persistent Contextual Memory — OpenClaw’s persistent memory system means Ask Mikey™ remembers the context of your ongoing conversations and laboratory operations. Ask a follow-up question hours later and Mikey picks up right where you left off — no re-explaining, no lost context.
  • Role-Based Guardrails & Permission Gating — Ask Mikey™ is our custom-tuned implementation with rigorous guardrails baked in. Actions are gated by the user’s Smpltrax permission level. A lab technician can query sample statuses and test results, while a Super Admin or Lab Director can instruct Mikey to execute administrative operations — panel assignments, COA regeneration, workflow modifications, bulk status updates, and system configuration changes. Every action respects Smpltrax’s existing role-based access control, ensuring no user can exceed their authorized scope.
  • Proactive Monitoring & Alerts — Leveraging OpenClaw’s built-in cron scheduling and webhook capabilities, Ask Mikey™ can proactively notify lab staff of pending QC reviews, approaching hold times, samples awaiting approval, or compliance deadlines — reaching you through your preferred channel before issues become problems.
  • Multi-Channel Access — Built on OpenClaw’s multi-platform messaging architecture, Ask Mikey™ meets your team where they already work. Access Mikey through the Smpltrax v2 web interface, or connect via Slack, Microsoft Teams, or other supported channels — so lab directors can check on operations from anywhere.
  • Privacy-First, Self-Hosted Architecture — In an industry where data compliance is non-negotiable, Ask Mikey™ inherits OpenClaw’s privacy-first design. Your laboratory data stays within your environment — never routed through third-party cloud services — ensuring full chain-of-custody integrity for your LIMS data.

Ask Mikey™ transforms the way cannabis testing laboratories interact with their LIMS — replacing menu-diving and manual lookups with a conversational AI agent that understands your lab’s language and can act on your behalf, instantly. Whether you’re a bench chemist checking a terpene profile or a lab director managing throughput across hundreds of active samples, Mikey is your always-available, always-informed LIMS copilot.
