Question 1

What is FLAIV.AI?

Accepted Answer

FLAIV.AI is an AI-powered formulation intelligence platform designed for R&D scientists and formulation engineers. It generates complete ingredient formulas with percentages, regulatory compliance assessments, and risk evaluations for 11 industries including food & beverage, cosmetics, pet nutrition, coatings, adhesives, fragrance, agrochemicals, functional food, fine chemicals, and biotechnology — in under 60 seconds.

Question 2

Which industries does FLAIV support?

Accepted Answer

FLAIV supports 11 formulation-intensive industries: (1) Food & Beverage, (2) Pet Nutrition, (3) Functional Food & Nutraceuticals, (4) Cosmetics & Personal Care, (5) Cleaning & Detergents, (6) Coatings & Inks, (7) Adhesives & Sealants, (8) Fine Chemicals, (9) Agricultural Formulations, (10) Biotechnology, (11) Flavor & Fragrance.

Question 3

How does FLAIV generate formulas?

Accepted Answer

FLAIV uses a multi-model AI architecture with parallel processing across 8 language models including Groq Llama, DeepSeek, and Qwen. It runs three specialized modules: Module A generates the complete ingredient formula with percentages and process steps; Module B performs decision and risk assessment; Module C conducts regulatory compliance checking. Results stream progressively to users within 15-30 seconds.

Question 4

Is FLAIV free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. FLAIV offers a free plan with 2 complete formula generations per day. The Lab Plan ($59/month) provides unlimited generations, PDF/Word export, and private knowledge base. The Team Plan ($159/month) supports up to 5 researcher seats with shared formula library and API access.

Question 5

How accurate are FLAIV formulas?

Accepted Answer

FLAIV formulas include a scientific integrity layer with CAS number validation, DOI hallucination detection, mandatory ingredient checks, and a quality gate requiring minimum 2,200 characters of complete formula data. Formulas include confidence scores and are grounded in industry standards (FDA 21 CFR, EU regulations, GB standards, IFRA, AAFCO, etc.).

Question 6

What makes FLAIV different from ChatGPT for formulation?

Accepted Answer

Unlike general-purpose AI, FLAIV is purpose-built for formulation chemistry with: (1) Industry-specific domain knowledge for 11 formulation sectors, (2) Regulatory compliance checking against FDA, EU, GB, IFRA, and AAFCO standards, (3) Real-time streaming generation showing ingredients as they appear, (4) CAS number validation preventing hallucinated chemical data, (5) Formula export to industry-standard PDF and DOCX formats, (6) Private knowledge base integration for proprietary formulation data.

Question 7

Can FLAIV check regulatory compliance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. FLAIV automatically checks regulatory compliance for each formula against applicable standards: FDA 21 CFR for US food and cosmetics, EU 1334/2008 and 1223/2009 for European markets, GB 2760 and GB/T standards for China, IFRA 2023 for fragrances, AAFCO 2023 for pet food, FAO/WHO specifications for agrochemicals, and more.

Question 8

Does FLAIV support Chinese language formulation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. FLAIV fully supports Chinese-language formulation in both Simplified (zh-CN) and Traditional Chinese (zh-TW). The platform uses Qwen-max (Alibaba Cloud) as the primary model for Chinese regulatory knowledge, with expertise in GB standards, China National Food Safety Standards, and NMPA cosmetic regulations.
