Description
Microsoft Discovery is an advanced AI-powered platform designed to accelerate scientific discovery by enabling researchers to collaborate with a team of specialized AI agents. This platform leverages a graph-based knowledge engine that connects diverse scientific data, allowing for deep, contextual reasoning over complex and often contradictory theories. Researchers can customize AI agents to align with their specific domains and tasks, making it easier to manage and orchestrate research efforts. Built on Microsoft Azure, Discovery ensures a high level of trust, transparency, and compliance, offering an enterprise-ready solution. The platform has already been used to accelerate the development of a novel coolant for data centers, cutting the discovery time from months to just 200 hours. This demonstrates the transformative potential of AI in R&D, providing researchers with the tools to unlock new possibilities and innovations at scale.
Description
VATES stores knowledge as plain structured text rather than as vectors.
There is no embedding pipeline, no vector database and no re-ranking stage — a query is scored against the text directly and the top matches go to the model. Nothing is precomputed, so nothing needs rebuilding when the knowledge changes; editing a line takes effect on the next request.
This removes an entire tier of infrastructure. No Pinecone, no Weaviate, no pgvector, no GPU, no per-call embedding API. Fewer moving parts, fewer failure points, lower cost. Deleted content is actually gone, verifiable by reading the file.
Deployment is an embed snippet or a direct HTTP API with idempotency keys and per-tenant rate limiting. Authentication is WebAuthn/FIDO2 passkeys, TOTP or password. Console, docs and site ship in 23 languages across 9 writing systems; replies are not restricted to that set.
Prepaid, usage-based, no seats, no subscription.
