    Perplexity Patents
    Perplexity Patents is the world’s first AI-powered patent research agent designed to make intellectual-property intelligence accessible to everyone, replacing difficult keyword-based searches with natural-language prompts that retrieve and summarize relevant patents and prior art in real time. Unlike traditional tools, it supports conversational queries and surfaces inventions even when exact terms differ (for example, matching “fitness trackers” to patents covering “activity bands” or “health-monitoring wearables”). The system goes beyond patent databases by also exploring academic papers, software repositories, and other unconventional sources of prior art, and presents results in an integrated viewer with links to original documents. Behind the scenes is an advanced agent-based research engine that breaks down complex queries into retrieval tasks using a patent-knowledge index at a massive scale, and maintains context across follow-ups.

    Ambercite

    Ambercite

    Ambercite

    When you rely solely on a conventional patent search database, you depend heavily on keywords and semantic association. This search process can be notoriously inexact, laborious, and time-consuming. By contrast, Ambercite Ai uses deep-learning and network algorithms which find the most similar patents to one or more starting patents. Results are ranked by similarity, and searches are extremely quick and easy. Combine your unique expertise with the deep-learning ability in Ambercite Ai to give you an unfair advantage. We identify what are likely to be the most similar and most important patents close to the patents that you are interested in, using advanced methods based on our AI algorithms and our database of over 106 million patents and 175 million patent citations. This saves you time and money otherwise lost on reading low-value patent documents. Abstract, representative image, and smart review features can then allow you to hone into the patents that you are looking for.
