We have an amazing team at Cypris, and we're excited to launch our Culture & Community Spotlight posts to celebrate each of them! Starting us off is Rudy!

Describe your Cypris journey so far

My time at Cypris so far has been very rewarding -  I’ve grown more in this role than in any of my previous roles. I am challenged every day to find creative solutions for our customers. Since joining Cypris, I have become more confident on the phone and improved my LinkedIn and messaging skills.

How would you describe your role at Cypris?

I’m a Business Development Representative, so the core of my role is top-of-funnel creation for sales opportunities. I reach out to business leaders to understand their current processes and see if Cypris can help make them more efficient. Most of my day is spent researching companies, sending emails, and having conversations with R&D leaders.

Why did you decide to join the team at Cypris?

Previously, I spent a few years in tech recruiting and decided to transition to software sales. After a bit of research, Cypris became my top choice. I felt confident in the R&D space and enjoyed how open-minded and inquisitive R&D professionals are. After meeting with our leadership team and seeing their success scaling startups, I felt confident Cypris would be the right next step for me.

Tell us about the most exciting project you’ve worked on at Cypris so far. 

In sales, projects are ongoing – we’re consistently working with customers to help them make their processes more efficient. One project our team has recently undertaken is implementing a new software - Salesloft. It’s a sales enablement platform that allows us to have more conversations with potential customers.

What do you think makes Cypris’ culture unique?

We’re remote-first, so everyone works very autonomously. Everyone here is very motivated to grow both personally and professionally. I’ve had lots of coaching opportunities with leadership. Even as we grow, our leadership still finds time to chat with everyone, which I find to be really unique.

Who would you swap lives with in the office for a day?

I would swap lives with Claire, who does recruiting and HR here, as my previous time as a recruiter overlaps quite a bit.

When you’re not working, what are you doing?

I am a father of two beautiful children, Rudy & Ren. If I am not working, I am likely playing with them or lounging. Being a father has been the single greatest achievement of my life and I am excited to watch them and my family grow.

Thank you Rudy for sharing a bit about your life!

AI Scientific Literature Review Software for R&D Teams in 2026: Complete Enterprise Guide

AI scientific literature review software helps researchers discover and analyze academic publications using artificial intelligence. The market divides between academic tools serving students and professors, including Semantic Scholar, Elicit, Consensus, and Research Rabbit, and enterprise platforms serving corporate R&D teams. Academic tools focus on paper discovery and citation management with free or low-cost access but lack patent integration, security certifications, and enterprise collaboration features. Cypris is an enterprise R&D intelligence platform providing unified access to 500+ million patents and 270 million scientific papers with SOC 2 Type II certification, a proprietary R&D ontology for semantic search across technical content, and official API partnerships with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. Corporate R&D teams require platforms integrating scientific literature with patent landscape analysis to support technology commercialization decisions, competitive intelligence, and strategic research planning.

The Compounding Intelligence Layer: Why R&D Teams Must Centralize Knowledge to Accelerate Innovation

Research and development organizations that centralize knowledge into a unified intelligence layer compound institutional expertise with every project, patent search, and competitive analysis, while those with fragmented systems repeatedly start from zero. The mathematics of compounding create exponential divergence over time, meaning organizations that build this infrastructure early develop sustainable advantages that become progressively harder for competitors to overcome. AI-powered platforms that synthesize internal project knowledge with comprehensive external patent and scientific data now make the organizational brain concept practically achievable for enterprise R&D teams.

A Technical Comparison of Cypris Report Mode and Perplexity Deep Research for R&D Intelligence

As frontier technologies move from lab → pilot → commercialization, research quality increasingly determines R&D decision quality. To test how modern AI research tools perform in this context, we ran the same advanced research prompt through two widely used platforms: Cypris Q — an R&D-native intelligence system built on patents, scientific literature, and technical ontologies Perplexity Deep Research — a general-purpose AI research tool optimized for market and news synthesis Both outputs were evaluated by Gemini as an independent AI auditor using a 100-point R&D rubric covering source quality, technical depth, IP intelligence, commercial readiness, and actionability.
