Undermind is an AI agent that does a deep and targeted search of the research literature. It finds precisely relevant works, even for complex topics (10-50x better than Google Scholar and Pubmed).
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
We are incredibly excited to launch Undermind — 10-50x better search for scientific research.
❌ The Problem:
Finding the right resources to solve problems is crucial for doing impactful research.
• However, researchers often need to find really complex information.
• Tools like PubMed and Google Scholar only work for simple phrases. It often takes hours to sift through the (mostly irrelevant) results.
✨ Our Solution:
We rebuilt search from the ground up for complex questions. Our AI agent:
• Mimics how a human researcher searches.
• Adapts based on what it finds to uncover everything.
• Ultimately, is 10-50x better than traditional keyword search engines.
⚙️ How to use it
Just write down your complex research topic, describing exactly what you want, as if to a colleague. After 2-3 minutes, Undermind will give you the precisely relevant articles you need.
🙏 Why we're doing this
@thomas_hartke and I, the builders of Undermind, are scientists ourselves. We’ve spent a lot of time looking through research literature and have personally experienced those “aha” moments - when you realize you could have saved 3 months of work if only you knew about that one paper earlier!
Our goal isn’t to save you a few minutes of searching yourself; it’s to make it easy to find the solutions that can drastically improve your overall research project.
