Eureka Hiro Overview

With more data than ever, searching is no longer just about finding information — it's about turning it into insights. With Eureka Hiro, you can ask a simple natural language question and instantly tap into PatSnap's high-quality data set of Patents, Papers and More. In just minutes, you'll go from curiosity to competitive intelligence, technology landscapes, invention analysis, and actionable answers — without needing to be a patent expert. Here's how it works.

  • Eureka Hiro lets you query PatSnap’s innovation data directly using natural language prompting.

    The platform connects to high-quality datasets including:

    Patents

    Scientific papers

    Clinical trials

    Alloy data

    And More

    You can ask for different kinds of analysis, such as:

    Competitive intelligence

    Technology landscaping

    Technical invention breakdowns

    Solutions to technical problems
  • Click the centre input box.

    Type your question or analysis request.
  • Eureka Hiro uses skills to guide each workflow.

    You can activate a skill manually with the forward slash button.

    Or you can remove the selected skill and press Start so Hiro chooses the best skill automatically.

    Hiro reads your prompt and matches it to the most appropriate workflow.
  • A skill is like an instruction manual for AI.

    It tells Eureka Hiro:

    What to search: which datasets and sources to query

    What to do with the data: how to analyse, compare, and rank results

    How to present the output: how to structure the report for actionable insights

    Skills help create repeatable intelligence workflows that save time.
  • Click Customise on the left side to see a breakdown of each skill.

    In the customisation view, you can learn:

    What each skill does

    When to use it

    What data you need to provide

    You can also click the plus icon to create your own skills using natural-language prompting.
  • Results are split into two main areas:

    Left side: thought process

    Right side: output

    The thought process shows:

    Which skills were used

    How PatSnap’s database was accessed

    What search methods, sources, keywords, and filters were applied

    In the example, the system searched patents and papers across 10,000 documents.
  • The right side contains a consistent, structured report generated by the selected skill.

    Typical sections may include:

    An executive summary

    Technology modalities in the space

    Portfolio depth and coverage

    A concise summary paragraph

    This format makes it easy to quickly understand the key findings without reading a long unstructured report.
  • Use the bottom-left box to ask a follow-up question.

    Click Share at the top to send the report to colleagues via a link.

    Recipients do not need a Eureka license to view it.
