The AI Platform Transforming Product Development—From Lab to Launch

Will Tashman, co-founder of Uncountable, joins Jonathan Taylor on Composites Weekly to discuss how Uncountable's platform is changing the way chemical, materials, and composites companies manage R&D data.

Will shares the company's origin story — starting as an AI consulting business cleaning up customer spreadsheets before pivoting in 2018 to a full software platform — and explains how Uncountable has grown to 180 people across five global offices in the ten years since founding.

The conversation covers how Uncountable approaches AI at three levels: computational chemistry, statistical optimisation of formulations and processes, and generative AI for natural-language querying of structured data. Will outlines the three ROI areas customers focus on: faster formula development through AI recommendations, operational improvements in lab coordination and inventory, and the harder-to-measure but significant value of institutional knowledge retention — preventing years of experimental data from disappearing when scientists move on.

Will also previews Bodie, Uncountable's AI assistant, designed to reduce change management friction. For composites teams specifically, he highlights how the platform handles complex stoichiometry, multi-component systems, and hands-free voice input for scientists working in physically demanding lab environments.
