Specright announced a wave of product innovation that deepens the company’s investment in AI across its platform.
“We’ve been heads-down turning our AI-first vision into shipped products,” says Mike Boese, CEO of Specright. “This release is the clearest proof yet of what Specification Intelligence means in practice: an AI Assistant that plans and executes multi-step work, agents that catch problems before they become recalls or write-offs, and R&D Workbenches that let product developers move at the speed of AI without sacrificing the compliance rigor their business depends on. We are not bolting AI features onto our platform – we are building AI into the spec-first foundation itself.”
Key takeaways:
· R&D Workbench for Food & Beverage enables R&D and regulatory teams to create or modify formulas using natural language prompts, re-create formulas from reference products, auto-generate compliant nutrition panels, validate nutrient content claims in real time, and optimize formulas through AI-led ingredient substitutions. All of this happens within a single, connected platform with built-in support for FDA, EU Regulation 1169/2011, Health Canada, USDA, and other global frameworks.
· R&D Workbench for Personal Care allows finalized formulas to flow directly into Specright’s PLM solution, providing one connected system from bench to manufacturing.
· The Specright AI Assistant gives teams additional avenues for interacting with the Specright platform. Teams are now able to ask natural-language questions about ingredients, formulas, packaging, or finished goods and get an instant, traceable answer pulled straight from live records. The Specright AI Assistant is also the home for a growing set of specialist agents working proactively in the background.
· The Data Anomaly and Gaps Agent proactively finds what is missing, incorrect, or suspicious in specification data and routes users to the right next action. Because specification data drives every downstream decision, even small gaps or errors can cascade into compliance exposure, lost margin, and production disruption. This agent understands the PLM domain and customer configurations, including product hierarchies, business rules, and regulatory requirements, rather than performing generic validation.
· The Packaging Selection Agent is an intelligent sourcing specialist built directly into the Specright AI Assistant. Rather than simply searching for materials, the agent ranks them, weighing competing priorities such as performance and sustainability to surface options that are more cost effective or more sustainable. It also validates availability by connecting internal SpecGraph data with external supplier catalogs and material databases.
