GetFocus Reviews & Product Details

About GetFocus: The Confidence to Bet on Winning Technologies Corporate R&D and innovation strategy is often a slow, messy, and biased process. Trapped in an "echo chamber" of the same vendors and internal opinions, leaders are forced to make high-stakes technology bets with incomplete data, haunted by the risk of placing their bets in the wrong place. This traditional approach to technology forecasting creates dangerous blind spots, wastes resources on dead ends, and leaves organizations vulnerable to disruption. GetFocus provides the unbiased, forward-looking intelligence that R&D and strategy leaders need to build their pipeline with confidence. Our AI-powered platform moves beyond subjective trend monitoring by measuring Technology Improvement Rates—a predictive metric, validated by decades of MIT research, that quantifies how quickly an emerging technology is getting better and cheaper. History shows that the fastest-improving technologies almost always win. We give you the data to see which ones they are, long before it's obvious to the market. Our platform turns the chaos of global innovation into a clear, actionable strategy through a simple, powerful workflow: Uncover Your Entire Technology Landscape. Instead of grappling with the "keyword nightmare" of traditional search, our AI Tech Scouting uses plain-language prompts to surface every relevant technology in your domain—from established standards to novel breakthroughs from adjacent industries. This process removes critical blind spots and ensures your strategy is built on a comprehensive foundation. Map the Competitive Playing Field. We provide a clear view of the entire technology landscape, showing you who the key players are, what they’re working on, and where the true white-space opportunities lie. This crucial competitive intelligence helps you understand what your competitors are up to and provides visibility into global trends you might have otherwise missed. Identify the Winners with Predictive Analytics. This is where we separate signal from noise. Our platform computes proprietary metrics to derive Technology Improvement Rates, ranking competing technologies side-by-side. This unbiased, data-driven analysis allows you to de-risk R&D investments, validate your strategic thinking, and confidently divert resources away from slower, high-risk bets. Move from Data to Decisions with Interactive Discovery. Data is useless without insight. Features like 'Chat with Set' allow you to have a strategic dialogue with up to 1,000 patents at once, turning a mountain of technical documents into synthesized answers in minutes. This process dramatically accelerates your workflow—turning what used to take months into weeks—and equips you with the traceable, verifiable insights needed to build a compelling value story for your board deck. Ultimately, GetFocus gives your organization the ability to stop guessing and start knowing. We empower your teams to accelerate R&D, optimize resources, and build the confidence to disrupt, not be disrupted.
