The Universe is a knowledge platform that helps R&D teams capture, structure, and build on their collective research insights. It combines information from scientific literature, patents, web sources, and internal findings in one searchable place, so teams can see connections across projects and avoid repeating work their colleagues have already completed.

The Universe eliminates the time R&D professionals typically spend hunting for information, processing literature, and documenting findings. Teams capture insights from any source with one click, generate comprehensive reports automatically, and build on existing research instead of starting from scratch. This means more time advancing innovation and less time on administrative research tasks.

The Universe includes four core capabilities: Capture insights from any webpage or document with our browser plugin, Structure findings to reveal connections between projects, Report AI-generated summaries with full source references, and Reuse existing knowledge through intelligent search and recommendation. All powered by IGOR^AI and designed for team collaboration.

IGOR^AI is our proprietary AI system designed specifically for R&D applications. Unlike general AI tools, IGOR^AI understands scientific and technical content, maintains accuracy through human verification, and focuses on functional search methodology. It processes vast amounts of technical literature while ensuring relevance and reliability for R&D decision-making.

The Universe works alongside your current tools rather than replacing them. Our browser plugin captures insights during normal web research, findings can be imported from existing documents, and reports export to standard formats. Teams typically start by capturing insights from ongoing projects, then gradually build their knowledge base without disrupting established processes.

The Universe is particularly valuable for materials research, ingredient development, process innovation, and any R&D that benefits from cross-industry insights. It's designed for teams that need to explore broad solution landscapes, build on existing knowledge, and collaborate across departments or locations. Most effective for challenges where comprehensive exploration matters more than deep specialisation.

IGOR^AI accelerates technology discovery by processing scientific literature and patents at scale while maintaining human-level accuracy. It identifies technologies based on function rather than keywords, reveals solutions from unexpected industries, and surfaces relevant insights that traditional search methods miss. The combination of AI speed and human expertise ensures comprehensive yet reliable results.
