(8 Oct 2025) CAS has announced the introduction of science-smart agentic AI designed to enhance research workflows and accelerate scientific discovery.
The new capabilities integrate intelligent agents trained on scientific content into CAS BioFinder® and CAS SciFinder®, enabling automation of complex research workflows. These agents allow scientists to ask direct questions and obtain reliable, evidence-backed responses grounded in the curated data of the CAS Content Collection™, distinguishing them from generic AI tools that rely on unverified or incomplete sources.
In the coming months, CAS BioFinder users will gain access to a conversational AI agent that supports complex scientific inquiry and interactive follow-ups. To ensure accessibility for a global audience, users will be able to communicate with the agent and receive detailed responses in their preferred languages. A literature review agent is also planned to summarize relevant publications and facilitate broader exploration.
CAS SciFinder will integrate similar agentic AI features before the end of 2025 to expand support for chemical research workflows.
The press release is here.
