We are pleased to bring to you this sponsored post by PatSeer on the launch of their new AI assistant. For more details, read on their announcement below:
PatSeer, a global provider of AI-driven IP research and intelligence platform, is excited to announce the launch of its AI assistant “PatAssist”. Designed to answer deeper technical questions on your patent datasets with a high degree of accuracy, PatAssist can transform your search and review workflows. Whether analysing a single patent or working with a set of records, PatAssist lets you to engage with your data like never before. The Assistant has built on more than a decade of learnings from the industry and from numerous feedback received from users of PatSeer.
As the world of AI evolves, 2024 has been the year of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and 2025 promises the rise of Agentic-AI—AI agents that can solve complex, multi-step problems by employing sophisticated reasoning at each step. PatAssist represents the first step toward this future, combining state-of-the-art reasoning with practical tools to make patent analysis more intuitive and impactful.
PatAssist goes beyond the summaries and comparisons to provide users with detailed, multi-layered insights answers tailored to their specific questions. Within a few seconds you can get a simple and precise answer for all your search results. PatAssist can sift through vast patent documents spanning hundreds of pages, delivering focused answers in a digestible format, saving significant time and effort. Tasks that once required hours of tedious manual work are now accomplished swiftly, aiding faster IP decision-making.
It retains context of your previous questions to aid conversational fine-tuning that’s needed to get the required insight. The assistant excels at answering questions that span larger results sets. Beyond search and analysis, PatAssist also helps simplify complex patent jargon for non-patent professionals.
Asking a single record |
What technique does the agricultural machine use to transition between road traffic and field operating positions?Can you summarize all approaches mentioned for reducing heat due to friction between moving parts? |
Asking a set of records (result set) |
List the patents that focus on reduced electrical consumption and outline the technological features enabling this.Provide a list of all the unique safety features for visually impaired users mentioned in the result set. |
To gain user trust, PatAssist prioritizes accuracy and precision. We have designed it to deliver precise, context-aware responses rather than speculative or imaginative outputs. Sufficient guardrails have been implemented so that the AI response is strictly from the information disclosed within each patent document, supplemented by general industry knowledge, mimicking a subject matter expert. To keep responses as transparent as possible, the Assistant also gives references to the source. We still believe we have not eliminated hallucinations completely and so recommend users to double-check answers especially when making critical decisions.
“2025 is the year of Agentic AI and with PatAssist we take our first steps towards this. PatSeer team has been hard at work on getting AI to solve medium to high cognitive challenges faced by patent professionals and we are quite excited with the possibilities ahead”, said Manish Sinha, Chief Technology Officer of PatSeer. “PatAssist marks the beginning of our journey using Generative AI for making day-to-day IP tasks easier and going ahead we plan to transform patent analysis, making it more accessible, intuitive, and substantially more powerful.”
