Innovation research and intelligence firm GreyB has launched Slate, an AI-driven platform designed to streamline external innovation discovery for R&D teams. Slate consolidates disparate research data, enabling researchers and scientists to efficiently extract insights from millions of documents, saving time and resources previously spent on manual processes.

SINGAPORE, May 14, 2025 — GreyB’s Slate platform is the first of its kind to consolidate fragmented research and innovation data for R&D professionals. The AI-powered solution allows for rapid insight extraction from vast quantities of research documents, addressing inefficiencies that typically cost significant time and effort in manual searching and analysis.

R&D teams today often face challenges due to slow research processes, the need to navigate multiple databases, and the difficulty of managing scattered insights. Identifying relevant solutions from outside their specific industry can be particularly challenging due to data accessibility issues, differences in terminology, and a lack of specialized knowledge. 

Slate tackles these challenges by compiling patents, research papers, and technical studies into a single platform, revealing connections within scientific literature. It aggregates over 160 million patents from more than 100 countries and 264 million research papers and other scholarly works, creating a comprehensive resource for R&D.

Early testing with select clients indicated that Slate could reduce research discovery time by 18%. A major food and beverage company using the platform also saw a 30% decrease in redundant research by addressing gaps in their innovation discovery methods. Similar improvements in efficiency and time savings were reported by GreyB clients in sectors such as food and beverage, packaging, cosmetics, automotive, energy, and healthcare. 

“We recognize the increasing difficulties researchers encounter when trying to stay current with research findings due to the sheer volume of published data,” said Anmol, Head of Product at GreyB. “Slate was created based on customer feedback, with the goal of empowering them to discover global research and innovations. It helps R&D teams save time, identify overlooked insights, and make better-informed decisions.”

Key features of Slate include:

  • Alternative ingredient and material mapping
  • Cross-industry innovation discovery
  • Competitive and technology intelligence
  • Real-time updates and alerts on emerging trends
  • Integrated AI assistant for literature reviews, summaries, and on-demand answers to research questions
  • Knowledge graph to link research areas and reveal hidden patterns
  • Structured research database for specific industries

Slate builds on GreyB’s decade of experience in providing strategic insights through in-depth research, now available in a platform designed to optimize innovation discovery.

Slate is currently available for demonstrations and trials. For more information, visit .
