Frequently Asked Questions

Invent.sg is an AI-powered platform that helps inventors develop their ideas into patent-ready applications, business cases, or crowdfunding campaigns. You collaborate with specialized AI experts through a chat interface, following our structured CAGE methodology (Create, Assess, Generate, Execute) to transform raw ideas into comprehensive documents.

No! That's the whole point. Invent.sg is designed for everyone, from first-time inventors to experienced professionals. Our AI experts guide you through the entire process, explaining concepts and helping you develop your idea regardless of your background.

Simply create a free account and start a new project. You can either describe your idea directly or choose an AI expert to chat with first. Our platform will guide you through the next steps based on what you want to achieve.

Experts are 800+ AI agents with deep industry and technical knowledge. Virtuosos are 350+ creative thinkers modeled after visionary leaders. Specialists are patent-focused agents with jurisdiction-specific expertise (like Singapore IPOS procedures).
