Meet the best agentic AI for science
CAS Newton is science‑smart agentic AI built for scientific discovery. It engages with complex scientific questions through conversational interaction, carries context forward as inquiry evolves, and returns answers grounded in published scientific knowledge curated by CAS scientists within the CAS Content Collection™.
see it in action
When getting the science wrong isn’t an option, can you trust your AI?
When stakes are highest, you need answers that can be sourced and defended. Most AI tools were built for language, but CAS Newton is built on over 150 years of peer-reviewed scientific literature that is curated by CAS scientists and interconnected across disciplines. Every answer it provides is one you can trust and verify.

Early users rated CAS Newton answers as more trustworthy than those from other AI tools
From question to discovery
CAS Newton does not just retrieve information. It reasons through it, connects it, and returns answers you can act on immediately.
A trusted scientific foundation
Every answer is grounded in the CAS Content Collection™, curated and refined by CAS scientists. Get conclusions you can stand behind because the evidence behind every output is authoritative, verifiable, and citable.
Science that goes deeper
Complex, multi-part questions become targeted search paths across chemistry, biology, and more. Science-specific capabilities including structure search, functional group reactivity, spectra prediction, and properties prediction surface what a standard search cannot reach.
Complex research that moves faster
Multi-step research workflows run autonomously. Vast reference sets become clear, actionable direction. As findings emerge, hidden relationships and trends surface across the CAS Content Collection™ without requiring you to manually piece results together.
Decisions you can stand behind
Get the evidence to generate hypotheses, validate assumptions, and support competitive analysis and trend identification. Verified scientific evidence sits behind every recommendation, so every decision your organization makes is defensible.
Integrated into your workflow
CAS Newton, everywhere you work
CAS Newton is available within CAS SciFinder® and CAS BioFinder®. CAS will expand access to CAS Newton across additional CAS solutions over time as capabilities evolve.

Frequently asked questions
What is CAS Newton?
CAS Newton is an agentic AI powered by the CAS Content Collection. The AI lives within existing CAS solutions to answer your queries with well-sourced, scientific, actionable results in real-time.
How do I access CAS Newton?
CAS Newton is available to existing CAS SciFinder and CAS BioFinder users. The agentic AI is integrated directly into both solutions, allowing you to begin querying once you log in.
Does CAS Newton have usage limits?
Users may encounter daily usage limits in CAS Newton. Please contact your account representative to discuss expanded access for your organization.
Are my user search queries visible to other users?
No. CAS maintains the confidentiality of user search activity. CAS does not use user search queries for any purpose beyond providing services to that user. User search queries is not shared with other users and is protected against unintended exposure. User data is never sold or shared with other users or outside of CAS.
Will my data be used to train CAS AI models?
No. User data is anonymized and aggregated so that we can observe patterns and themes in general user behaviors. For example, we use anonymized and aggregated data to determine how to identify and prioritize product content.CAS is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all users, including the responsible use of AI. CAS does not leverage user search queries to build or train AI models. CAS maintains the confidentiality of user search activities in accordance with its Privacy Policy and in a manner consistent with the CAS Ethical Approach to AI.
How do I know if the results of my search query are AI-generated?
Any AI-generated output is labeled as such to ensure the user is aware.
How reliable are AI outputs in CAS Solutions? Are there hallucinations?
CAS employs robust training and testing to avoid hallucinations. Our AI solutions are built by scientists, for scientists, with accuracy at the forefront. They are rigorously trained, tested, and validated by domain experts using real scientific use cases to ensure accurate answers.
In addition, our AI primarily relies on expertly curated and indexed proprietary data rather than broad, unvetted external sources. By grounding outputs in trusted scientific content, we significantly reduce the risk of hallucinations, helping scientists work with confidence.
