Prior Art

Your AI assistant for patent & academic research. Analyze solutions, generate search queries, and discover prior art. Unlock the power of AI for your research with Prior Art, the essential extension for professionals, academics, and inventors. Prior Art is a sophisticated research assistant that lives in your browser, designed to dramatically speed up your workflow when analyzing complex documents like patents and academic papers. With a single keyboard shortcut (`Option+S` on Mac or `Alt+S` on Windows or Linux), you can instantly understand the core concepts of any webpage. Core Features: AI-Powered Summaries: Go beyond simple text extraction. Our extension sends the content of your active tab to our advanced AI backend to generate a structured, comprehensive summary. The format is tailored to the content type: For Patents: Get a breakdown of the Core Inventive Concept, a practical Explanation with Examples, an analysis of its Conventionality, and a list of ready-to-use Boolean Search Formulas to streamline your prior art search. For Academic Papers: Receive an analysis covering the Core Research Contribution, Technical Details, and the potential Impact and Applications of the work. For General Articles: Get a concise, easy-to-read summary including the Main Topic, Key Points, and Practical Takeaways. Intelligent Content Extraction: Prior Art automatically detects when you are on specialized patent websites (like Google Patents, HimmPat, etc.) and uses optimized content extractors to ensure the highest quality analysis. Privacy-Focused & On-Demand: The extension only activates when you command it. It does not run in the background or collect any data without your explicit action. Your privacy is paramount. Seamless Integration: All analyses are displayed cleanly in your browser's side panel, so you never have to leave the page you're researching. Whether you are a patent attorney conducting a validity search, a researcher reviewing literature, or an innovator exploring new ideas, Prior Art is the tool you need to work smarter, not harder.
