CAS Connections lands in Microsoft Copilot, letting chemists check CAS Registry Numbers and structures while drafting reports
CAS, a division of the American Chemical Society, announced that its CAS Connections connector is now live in Microsoft Copilot, giving Copilot users direct access to CAS Content Collection and to CAS Newton, a science-focused AI agent. Previously, R&D teams in pharma, life sciences and chemistry had to look for trusted scientific information in dedicated tools outside Copilot. Jointly developed by CAS and Microsoft, the connector embeds more than 150 years of expert-indexed CAS knowledge into everyday writing, analysis and collaboration workflows, for example checking a compound's CAS Registry Number and chemical structure in Word or asking in Teams whether a substance appears in patent literature.
