Eureka Materials

Eureka Materials, developed by PatSnap, is a suite of task-specific AI agents designed to accelerate materials discovery and formulation development for working materials scientists and R&D teams. Built on PatSnap's specialised Innovation Knowledge Graph and grounded in millions of patents and scientific papers, Eureka delivers evidence-backed answers to complex materials challenges — enabling faster iteration cycles, reduced experimental waste, and more confident decision-making throughout the development lifecycle.

Unlike general-purpose large language models, Eureka is purpose-built for materials science, understanding the nuanced language of chemical structures, formulation parameters, and technical precedent. It is suited for individual scientists validating hypotheses, professional R&D teams managing full research workflows, and enterprise organisations seeking to scale materials intelligence across departments.

Core Agent Capabilities

• Materials Technical Q&A: Provides clear, structured answers to complex materials R&D questions, fully grounded in patents and scientific evidence to reduce risk and accelerate development.
• Formulation Agent: Uncovers lab-ready formulation candidates in minutes, derived from technical precedent and functional logic, enabling faster iteration and stronger market responsiveness.
• Deep Mechanism Dive: Supports in-depth exploration of underlying material mechanisms to inform design decisions.
• Bottleneck Breakdown: Identifies and analyses development bottlenecks to streamline the path from research to production.
• Competitive Insights: Surfaces competitive intelligence from patent and scientific literature to inform strategic positioning.
• Mass Production Bridge: Helps bridge the gap between laboratory-scale findings and scalable manufacturing processes.

Formulation Agent Features

• Resolves nomenclature ambiguity by aligning proprietary trade names with standardised chemical identities using globally recognised databases such as PubChem and INCI, ensuring consistency across workspaces.
• Enables search by functional role or standardised chemical identity, delivering greater precision than keyword-based methods alone.
• Uses parallel processing and automated deduplication to rapidly filter and validate high-value insights from patents and scientific publications.
• Supports rapid identification of replacement candidates for restricted or high-risk materials — such as PFAS or phthalates — that meet the same functional requirements, without restarting development from scratch.
• Moves users from initial prompt to technically vetted formulation candidates in a fraction of the time required for manual literature review.

Enterprise-Grade Intelligence Features

• AI-driven technical solution discovery and early-stage design risk analysis (DFMEA).
• Comprehensive novelty assessment and AI-assisted IP documentation.
• Strict file upload control, private incognito mode, and unified team permission management.
• Shared collaborative spaces for team-based research workflows.
• Dedicated customer support and enterprise security ensuring proprietary formulations are never used for model training.

Plans and Pricing

• Free (Basic): Limited access to Materials Technical Q&A and Formulation Agent, suitable for scientists validating a hypothesis or testing the platform. Includes tracking of limited technical topics.
• Pro ($200/month or $180/month billed annually): Full research capabilities including higher usage limits, detailed formulation insights from referenced sources, export of formulation results, and full-text patent PDF viewing and export.
• Enterprise (Contact Sales): Scales materials discovery across entire teams with high-frequency usage, collaboration in shared spaces, end-to-end materials intelligence, and advanced security and control features.
• API (Custom Pricing): Plug-and-play deployment with flexible, usage-based pricing for embedding materials agents directly into existing infrastructure via APIs, widgets, and connectors.

Eureka Materials is powered by PatSnap's Innovation Knowledge Graph and is available as a standalone platform or via API integration into existing enterprise workflows. The API tier supports Agent Skills and MCPs, and is built with enterprise-grade security at its core. Enterprise customers can discuss additional requirements such as SSO, procurement processes, and dedicated support by booking a demo with the PatSnap team.
