Three focuses
One assistant. Three ways of thinking.
Choose the focus that fits the question. The sources and citations stay the same; the priorities change.
Think like a product developer.
- Formulation routes compared side by side, with citations.
- Scale-up and sensory risks flagged before the pilot plant.
- Next steps that turn an idea into a lab plan.
Know where you stand in every market.
- EU, US and UK requirements compared in one answer.
- Labelling, allergen and additive questions answered with references.
- Gaps flagged early, so your experts spend time on the judgement calls.
Read the paper, the spec or the label.
- Upload a study, a specification sheet or a competitor label.
- Methods, findings and limitations pulled out in minutes.
- Citation-ready summaries for your Library.

Roadmap · not yet available
Where this goes.
Today Alchemyst answers, briefs and organises. The direction is an AI Workbench, where your data, your projects and the science meet, with more focuses on the same backbone.
A curated food-science corpus
Selected and structured for food, not scraped from the open web. Every source added sharpens every focus.
Rooted in European food research
Technology and expertise from European research projects, refined with feedback from the food scientists and developers who work in them.
Our own open-weight models
In development: models tuned for food science that we run and control, instead of renting a general-purpose one.
Team
Our careers led us to AI. The hype didn’t.
Big data and analytics first, then predictive models and machine learning, now AI. Between us, we have delivered data projects for organisations such as SAP, BMW, Volkswagen, Mercedes, Airbus, Infineon, NXP, Telefónica, Vodafone, Whirlpool (now Beko Europe), Sage and Ripple.

Alchemyst is an AI assistant for people in food R&D, regulatory affairs and research. It answers questions in three focuses (Product Development, Regulatory & Compliance, Papers & Labels) with citations, sends a weekly Briefing from your sources, and keeps your work in a Library and stage-gate Projects. It works alongside your team; your experts still make the decisions.
General tools answer from broad web data and rarely show where a claim comes from. Alchemyst grounds answers in peer-reviewed literature and cites it, shapes every answer to your role, markets and product categories, and keeps what you learn in a Library and Projects your team shares.
No. It helps your team decide what to test first and spot regulatory questions early, so lab time and expert time go to the most promising directions. Validation, submissions and final judgement stay with your scientists and regulatory professionals.
Today: millions of peer-reviewed papers from PubMed, 30 Briefing sources (including FDA, EFSA, UK FSA, CFIA and EU RASFF), and, on Professional, your own company documents. Clinical-trial records, food composition data and patents are coming next.
Yes. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Your documents and formulation data stay in your organisation's isolated environment and are never used to train shared AI models or shared with other customers. See our security page for details.
Everyone gets 14 days of Professional, free. Sign up with a recognised university or institutional email and you get 30 days of Academic instead. No credit card is needed. Afterwards, choose Essential, Professional or Academic on the pricing page.
