New AI feature shows the connection between your search and each result, instantly and clearly.
Ever wondered why a patent showed up in your results?
Search results don’t always speak for themselves. Even with smart algorithms and boolean strings, patent professionals are often left wondering:
“Why was this document retrieved?”
“Does it really match my query?”
“What’s the connection here?”
Now, AI Explain solves that problem, instantly.
What is AI Explain?
This new feature uses AI to analyse the connection between your query and the retrieved patent, helping you understand why a document was retrieved in the first place. It’s designed to eliminate guesswork and give you a deeper understanding of the overlapping concepts, all this built right into your search workflow.
Why it matters
In traditional patent searching, you’re often left to reverse-engineer why a document appeared, and often relies on time-consuming manual reviews to understand why results matter. AI search tools can speed things up, but without explainability, trust breaks down. Users are left wondering: Why did the AI show me this patent?
This adds friction, especially in:
- Large result sets
- Complex queries
- Tech areas outside your expertise
- Review under tight deadlines
- Novelty checks
AI Explain turns the mystery into clarity, so you can:
- Save time: Understand technical similarities, differences, or overlapping concepts between your input and the retrieved patent.
- Avoid overlooking valuable results: Quickly dismiss irrelevant results or flag promising leads with relevance rating (high/medium/low)
- Train junior users more easily: helping new team members or explaining results to stakeholders with one click word reports available
- Gain trust: No more black-box results. Get clear answers on why you’re seeing what you’re seeing and where those concepts appear with absolute relevance score from the AI
Ideal for: Patent searchers, analysts, IP counsel, R&D teams – especially in novelty, FTO, patentability and competitive intelligence workflows
