Cataris Inc., a developer of AI agents for the chemical and materials industries, is pleased to announce that it has raised a total of 50 million yen in seed funding through a third-party allotment of new shares, underwritten by CyberAgent Capital, Inc. and ANOBAKA Inc., to accelerate the development of a “Material Profiling AI Platform” in which AI agents analyze the characteristics of materials and automate and speed up the discovery of uses and proposals for improvements.<\/p>

Cataris’ vision is for humans and AI to work together to create new value in industries around the world , and it is developing AI agents specialized for the chemical industry.<\/p>

Traditionally, exploring new uses for materials and proposing improvements has relied on the experience and personal knowledge of researchers and sales representatives, or on analog methods such as roller sales, making it difficult to balance “exploration speed” with “reproducibility of proposals.” Furthermore, the last mile of “material to market” is an area that is difficult to solve with traditional machine learning or general SaaS (Software as a Service) due to structural reasons such as being centered on unstructured data, multi-objective judgment, and scarcity and delay of result labels.

Our unique “Material Profiling AI Platform” performs cross-sectional analysis of material data, research papers, patents, public databases, etc., and by utilizing our proprietary property prediction tools and ontology technology, our AI agents automatically generate potential uses and directions for improvement for materials. This dramatically improves the speed of on-site considerations in research and development, business development, and sales proposals.<\/p>
