technical environment

Our platform is built from the ground up to rethink the B2B user experience and focus on what matters: accelerating the discovery of these new materials. We have hooked large language models as part of our operating procedure.

The customer-facing web app is built in TypeScript using React (NextJS) and Express backend. Our internal data/AI pipeline is built using Python. We store our data inside PostgreSQL and our warehouse in BigQuery.
