Most chemical companies have decades of scientific knowledge that theyd like to be able to use at scale in a digital world. Therefore, we are building a SaaS platform that will: - Centralise and index all scientific documents a chemical company owns - Extract, process and make queryable all knowledge and data (including chemical structure) trapped in any document format or siloed repository found across an organisation - Build the digital foundation of knowledge that can be leveraged for downstream tasks such as AI/ML or cheminformatics. We are building a platform that will accept and process everything from lab books to PowerPoints before using its chemically aware AI to structure and intelligently link all the chemical knowledge. In this way we envisage a system that can return results that would rival those of a skilled chemist but from across the entire organisation instantly.
