Scientific Review AI Agent
A RAG-powered research agent that reduces scientific review time, improves decision accuracy, and helps R&D teams bring innovations to market faster.
In today’s research-driven industries, the pace of discovery is accelerating—but so is the volume of information. Scientists, R&D teams, and innovation leaders are buried under a growing pile of journal articles, internal reports, and experimental data. Sifting through it all manually is time-consuming and prone to human error. Without the ability to rapidly distill complex data into meaningful insights, organizations fall behind competitors who can.
Recursive’s Scientific Review AI Agent transforms how teams access and apply scientific knowledge. Instead of complex database searches or manual cross-referencing, users simply ask questions in natural language. Powered by advanced Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), the agent ingests the latest global research (e.g., scientific journals, patents, databases) alongside your internal data (e.g., experimental results, white papers) to deliver concise, evidence-backed answers in minutes. Each response includes citations and links to original sources so teams can verify findings and dig deeper as needed.
While some RAG tools on the market provide generic answers based on manually uploaded files or publicly available content, our agent is built for seamless enterprise integration. It connects directly to your internal knowledge base, eliminating the need for constant document uploads. It’s also tailored to your industry, incorporating domain-specific terminology and research sources to deliver more relevant, contextual answers.
