Undermind

Undermind is an AI research assistant for searching scientific literature. A researcher describes the topic in plain language, Undermind asks follow up questions, then searches, reads and evaluates hundreds of papers and follows citation trails to find relevant work, including papers that ordinary keyword search misses. It reads full texts and figures and cites every source, so any statement in a response can be traced back to the paper it came from. Beyond the initial search, users can iterate on reports, extract details from papers, generate custom tables, brainstorm research directions with an assistant that has read the relevant literature, and sort and filter results by relevance. Undermind can also monitor an area of interest and send a notification when relevant new papers are published. It works inside Claude and ChatGPT as well as in its own interface, and the site has a section for connecting agents. The vendor publishes benchmark results comparing its search with Google Scholar and with general purpose agents using web search. The audience is academic and industry scientists, and an Enterprise option exists for organizations. The pricing page lists a Free plan at $0 for exploratory research, a Pro plan at $16 per month billed annually for ongoing research, and a Team plan at $15 per person per month billed annually. A monthly billing option is also offered.
