Last Developments

Ada has been built from the ground up as a specialized AI assistant for chemometrics. Here’s where we are.

Conceptualization

Completed

Foundational design and architectural planning finalized. Ada’s role, capabilities, and integration with The Library and The Square are defined.

AI foundation

Completed

Ada is powered by a state-of-the-art language model with an agentic architecture that supports multi-step reasoning for complex queries.

Knowledge & tools

Completed

A set of specialized tools that let Ada search Library articles, browse codes and datasets, explain formulas, and more.

Interface

Completed

Full chat interface with real-time streaming, conversation history, interactive visualizations embedded in responses, and mathematical formula rendering.
