Undermind

An AI agent for scientific research

At Undermind, we're building a search engine that can handle extremely complex questions. It’s geared at experts, like research scientists and doctors, who need to find very specific resources to solve high-stakes problems. We’ve rebuilt search from the ground up to address this. Our new approach employs high-quality LLMs to adaptively explore a database, mimicking how a human researcher carefully discovers information. This approach dramatically outperforms (by 10-50x) traditional keyword search and other modern AI-based retrieval methods. Our first target users are the 50 million researchers searching for scientific literature on PubMed and Google Scholar every month. We’ve have paying users across fields like medicine, ML, biotech, finance, and more.

❌ The Problem:

Finding the right resources to solve problems is crucial for doing impactful research. However, researchers often need to find really complex information, and tools like PubMed and Google Scholar simply aren’t up to the task. They only work for simple, short keyword phrases, and it often takes hours to sift through the (mostly irrelevant) results.

✨ Our Solution:

We rebuilt search from the ground up to make it work really well for complex questions. Our AI agent mimics how a human researcher carefully discovers information. It spends a few minutes carefully looking through hundreds of papers for you and adapts based on what it finds to uncover everything. Ultimately Undermind’s results are 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

We’re scientists ourselves, and we’ve spent a lot of time looking through scientific literature. We’ve 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! So, 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 plan and trajectory.
