SAS
Agent platform
No-code retrieval-augmented generation and agent builder: ingests unstructured enterprise documents with multilingual OCR, answers questions with citations through a choice of third-party LLMs and vector databases, evaluates the answers, and runs goal-driven agents, on premises or in the cloud.
Synthetic Sciences
Agent platform
Platform for frontier AI research whose agents survey the literature, draft an experimental plan, run experiments in parallel across the customer's compute, monitor every run and report results, with swarms of agents that hillclimb a metric overnight and a Slack integration for launching and approving runs; access is by request and described as invite-only, no prices published.
No counterpart
SAS sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Synthetic Sciences yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
