Citrine | Catalyst

Your secure digital assistant for product development, production and sales

What it is:
Citrine Catalyst is the private digital assistant of the Citrine Platform that leverages large language models to support your product experts. It has two tools: Knowledge Assistant and Model Assistant.

Catalyst - Knowledge Assistant

Knowledge Assistant

Instantly search and synthesize your knowledge.

A combination of curated, peer-reviewed journal papers, and your own private documents can be queried at the same time.

what is the viscosity of Rheovis UR 1120
Does Citrine Informatics have any patents about designing formulations?

Catalyst - Model Assistant

Model Assistant

Train your AI by having a conversation.

Catalyst can be used to edit your AI model. Use it to add your domain knowledge and make the AI more accurate.

It looks like you are editing an AI Model. Would you like assistance?

How does Knowledge Assistant help our customers?

Two types of knowledge at the fingertips of product experts
Knowledge Assistant helps teams get answers to product related questions, quickly and efficiently. Data can be pulled out and information summarized instantly.

  1. Curated, peer-reviewed, papers
  2. Your internal knowledge bank e.g.,
    • Technical Data Sheets
    • Safety Data Sheets
    • Technical Reports…

Example Uses

Answer customer’s product questions

what is Hot Melt Adhesive 3738 used for?

Stay safe

is 1,8-Octanedicarboxylic acid hazardous?

Summarize reports

Has anyone investigated PCE admixtures with gypsum?

How is this different from other AI co-pilots?

Private and secure
Our security standards apply to your Catalyst queries, just like any other data you trust us with.

Citrine only use:

  • Private LLM end points that are hosted in the major cloud platforms.
  • LLMs that don’t retain any of the information, including the question.
  • LLMs that are not trained on any data Citrine provides during requests.

Your organization name is not sent to the LLMs.

Scientific sensibilities

  • Hallucination-free: No answer if Catalyst isn’t certain it is accurate
  • All answers have linked references so that you can check context
  • Your documents are supplemented by curated, peer-reviewed documents
How does Model Assistant help our customers?
We believe that it is important to empower product experts so that they can take advantage of AI directly, speeding up iterations, reducing the need for harder to scale data science teams. Model Assistant enables an expert to enhance the AI model with their own knowledge in plain english. The more knowledge is captured in the platform, the more it accelerates development, and the more it can help to upskill junior members of the team.

Every product expert, becomes your best product expert.

Empowering product experts to act like AI Experts.

Example Uses

You write: The ratio of cement to water is important for the compressive strength of concrete

Catalyst Model Assistant will suggest calculating the ratio of cement and water and feeding that into the predictions of compressive strength. You can then choose to accept the changes.

water binder ratio

You write: Hardness affects texture liking

Catalyst Model Assistant will suggest edits to make sure that the predicted values of hardness inform the predicted values of texture liking. You can then choose to accept the changes and they will be carried out automatically.

What it replaces:

For Product Experts
Before experimenting, many researchers conduct a literature review to understand the latest research and identify potential paths to achieve their goal. Without Catalyst, this requires users to identify appropriate databases, wade through abstracts and construct searches using carefully chosen keywords and Boolean operators. With Catalyst, our digital assistant does the work for you, formulating the search, retrieving the results, and presenting you with the citations so you can evaluate the credibility of each source.

For Application Engineers
To answer customer’s questions quickly and respond to RFPs, an application engineer needs to search through complex file systems to find up-to-date documents. With Catalyst they can do this instantly in plain language.

How it works:

Catalyst is integrated with the rest of the Citrine platform, so you can interact with it as you think of questions or ideas to improve the model.

Knowledge Assistant
Using a large language model, we convert your questions into properly formatted search phrases and use them to interrogate domain-specific databases, and your uploaded documents at the same time. All responses will provide a reference link to the source document.

Model Assistant
When you are working on an AI model, you can tell the AI what is important and make the model better.
