At its annual Users Club, held in Paris on October 13, 2026, software publisher Coptis, which specializes in formulation and regulatory compliance, unveiled two AI-powered innovations: Purple and Document Reader. Designed for R&D, formulation and regulatory affairs teams, the tools aim to accelerate cosmetic product development and streamline technical data management.
"Prompt-to-Formula” AI agent
Integrated into Coptis solutions, Purple draws on each company’s own raw materials and structured data, alongside Coptis’ knowledge base. This approach embeds regulatory compliance from the outset of product development while enabling teams to build on their expertise and internal data. Furthermore, the new tool does not rely on external sources, such as general-purpose LLMs.
“Our customers (cosmetic brands, manufacturers and contract manufacturers, etc..) need to innovate faster, personalize their products, reduce waste and ensure compliance,” said Coptis in a press release.
Intelligent processing of raw material documents
Furthermore, Coptis also presented Document Reader, which automatically creates a raw material record in the Coptis solution from a supplier document. The tool extracts relevant information, populates the record fields, and then renames and files the document in the library.
According to Coptis, the AI reads supplier PDF documents, extracts the relevant data, and cross-checks it against the customer’s settings and Coptis reference data, including properties, solubility, and alerts. It then automatically pre-populates the Coptis raw material record with key information such as the INCI breakdown and traces, alerts, and natural origin indicators under ISO 16128 and COSMOS.
Planned enhancements include source traceability, with references to the relevant pages and passages, support for multiple documents and file formats for a single raw material, and the ability to update existing records.
“Our User Club is where we actively shape the future of our solutions together with our customers. With Purple and Document Reader, we put AI at the service of formulation and regulatory experts: helping them innovate and work more efficiently, without ever compromising on reliability or compliance,” Pauline Caron, Chief Product Officer at Coptis.
