Nice launch guys! I am into research myself and I have seen this space blow up in the last couple of years. Love the approach taken. SciSpace still gets my vote in this category on the sheer ease of use and the pace at which it helps my research, plus they also have writing capabilities now. But excited to see how Undermind develops! Will be watching closely

This sounds really promising, @joshua_ramette! The idea of mimicking human search behavior for complex queries is intriguing. I’ve often struggled to find relevant research quickly, so I can definitely see the value here. Can you share more insights on how the AI adapts its search strategy? Also, what’s the pricing model for Undermind? Is there a freemium option for users to test it out first?
Joshua Ramette
@elke_qin yes, we have a free trial and a freemium both! It adapts kind of in the way you do as a human -- looking for new papers based on what's discovered so far and continuing to dig.

Congrats on the launch, @joshua_ramette! 🚀 It's about time we had an upgrade in research search tools. The struggle with irrelevant results from PubMed and Google Scholar is all too real. Undermind sounds like a game changer for those complex queries—excited to see how it mimics human search behaviors. It’s like having a research assistant who never runs out of coffee! ☕ Can't wait to try it out and witness the 10-50x magic for myself. Here’s to saving us all those crushing hours of searching! 💪 #Makers #Launch

@joshua_ramette - this is an amazing idea! This solves my recent biggest frustration with AI: hallucinations. Last time, I thought I found through ChatGPT the perfect research paper for my needs, only to discover that it was completely made up. Will give your product a spin on the free trial and let you know how it goes!
