AIdea™: the AI-assisted, data-driven innovation and invention platform

AIdea™ guides expert teams through a structured, flexible and iterative innovation workflow. It combines corporate knowledge, AIdea™-curated knowledge and public intelligence, including patents, scientific publications and selected web sources, to create evidence-grounded opportunities, ideas, concepts, inventions and invention disclosures.

A setup phase establishes the innovation brief, data sources, methods and governance. Teams then work through focused innovation sprints, moving iteratively between evidence, exploration, concept development, invention capture and review.

AI assists the process; human experts define, select, refine and approve the inventive contribution.

AIdea™ records decisions, expert contributions, evidence and iterations, preserving traceability from source knowledge to inventive features and final disclosure. Inventorship and patentability remain subject to the applicable jurisdiction and the facts of each invention.

A guided process that adapts as knowledge matures

From innovation brief to protectable concepts

Teams can move backwards and forwards across phases as evidence, priorities and concepts develop.

Evidence from previous work

Faster innovation with less effort

Up to 75%lower effort
Up to 4×faster
Up to 2×better innovation outcomes

These results draw on Pier Paolo's prior innovation work and his experience as a named inventor or co-inventor on 270 patent records.

  • Customer relevanceEvidence-grounded consumer insights and personas keep innovation connected to real customer and consumer needs.
  • Cross-pollinationMultidisciplinary, cross-industry and technology evidence expands the solution space and supports more disruptive directions.
  • Patentability supportEarly, preliminary checks of novelty and inventive step help teams prioritise concepts with stronger patent potential.
  • Faster documentationAI-assisted invention-disclosure creation reduces the documentation burden while improving speed, completeness, consistency and traceability.
