Answer every materials discovery question with confidence

Materials Tech Q&A is built on PatSnap's specialised technical intelligence infrastructure rather than general internet data. While models like ChatGPT are designed for broad conversation, our agent is grounded in PatSnap's database of millions of patents and scientific papers to ensure technical accuracy. It specifically understands the complex language of materials science, such as chemical structures and formulation parameters, which general models often struggle to process. Furthermore, it provides enterprise-grade security to protect your intellectual property, ensuring your proprietary formulations are never used for model training. Unlike general AI, this tool is designed to provide actionable R&D insights based on verified innovation data.

Our Free Trial gives you limited access to the Materials Tech Q&A and Formulation Agents, allowing you to explore the platform's core capabilities with no upfront payment. Usage limits apply. Need higher usage limits? The Pro plan provides expanded access to support professional R&D workflows. In addition to increased search capacity, it includes full-text patent PDF viewing and export capabilities. Pricing starts at $180 per month (billed annually) or $200 per month (monthly billing). For teams requiring a tailored package or API access, we recommend booking a demo with our team, who can discuss enterprise needs such as SSO, procurement processes, integrations, and dedicated support.

The Formulation Agent resolves nomenclature ambiguity by aligning proprietary trade names found in patents or literature with standardized chemical identities using globally recognized databases such as PubChem and INCI. This ensures consistency across your workspace, regardless of how ingredients are labeled in the original source material, enabling accurate comparison, filtering, and analysis.

The Formulation Agent is designed to help you respond quickly to regulatory changes and supply chain disruption. If you need to replace an ingredient class, such as PFAS, phthalates, or other restricted substances, you can easily prompt the agent to surface alternative candidates that meet the same functional requirements, without restarting development from scratch.

The Formulation Agent leverages pre-extracted and indexed technical data to enable search by functional role or standardized chemical identity - delivering far greater precision than keyword-based methods alone. Using parallel processing and automated deduplication, it rapidly filters and validates high-value insights from patents and scientific publications, moving you from initial prompt to technically vetted candidates in a fraction of the time required for manual review.
