AI agents
Specialized AI agents accelerate your technology intelligence workflow from research planning to synthesis.

Break down complex research into smaller parts, create evaluation criteria, and deploy AI agents to investigate each area.

Discover high-impact opportunities, and align technical development with the market ecosystem.

Generate patent search queries from natural language, evaluate patent relevance, and identify key technologies and applications within patents.
Data coverage
Comprehensive coverage across multiple domains, grounded in verified sources.
Every AI response draws from comprehensive sources rather than generating potentially inaccurate information. All responses link back to their sources so you can verify claims and track information back to its origin.
Access to millions of curated data points across key domains
Company websites, ensuring comprehensive business context
Publications, preventing gaps in research knowledge
Patent families, covering innovation landscape
Compounds and substances, enabling molecular property searches
Targeted data feeds for specific research needs
We run on live data, not outdated crawls. The index is curated from real human usage, not bots, so irrelevant noise drops out and signal rises. We don't just crawl the web, we index what actual people access.
Bring your data
Upload your documents and build a personalized research assistant that understands your specific domain.
Don't have time to read that paper now? No problem. Spark stores and analyzes your documents, so you can ask questions about them later.
Our state-of-the-art AI technology ensures accurate content extraction from scanned documents.
