Nope.

There is a device that usually can predict reaction products, it is called "trained brain".

Well the first person to make this will become a millionaire I suppose

Yes, there are several types of software that can determine the products of a chemical reaction. These are known as chemical reaction solvers or reaction prediction software. They use computational algorithms and databases of known chemical reactions to predict the products of a given reaction.

Some examples of popular chemical reaction solvers include ChemDraw, ACD/Labs, and ChemAxon. These software programs use various methods such as rule-based systems, machine learning, and quantum mechanics calculations to predict reaction products.

However, it is important to note that these software programs are not perfect and may not always accurately predict the products of a reaction. This is because chemical reactions can be influenced by various factors such as temperature, pressure, and catalysts, which may not be accounted for in the software.

Furthermore, organic chemistry reactions can be particularly challenging to predict as they involve complex molecules and reaction mechanisms. Therefore, while chemical reaction solvers can be useful tools for predicting reaction products, they should not be relied upon as the sole source of information. It is still important for scientists to have a deep understanding of chemical reactions and to conduct experiments to verify the predicted products.
