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.

Hi @joshua_ramette Very amazing, I can't wait to use the product 👏
Report
as journal editor... this tools saves me sooo much time... it is also an excellent investigative tool
Congratulations on the launch! Tried it and it works decently well.
But how do you differentiate from similar tools already in the market with output capabilities that are similar or better? For example, Scispace (typeset.io)?
Been using them for a while and even the free version works well despite the rate limits. Especially like the feature to further deep dive into a specific paper after the literature review gives me a tabular summary.
By the time you build out similar features, won’t such companies already have moved 10 steps ahead? Could be wrong, happy to understand better.
@apm_nerd for complex research topics, the difference is the search quality we can achieve. If you really push our system for specific search results, it shines in a way that fast and direct search systems aren't able to!
Hey Joshua,
How does Undermind handle very new or niche research areas where there might be limited published work?
Do you have any plans to incorporate preprint servers or conference proceedings into the search scope?
Congrats on the launch!
@kyrylosilin yes, many preprint servers are already included (like arXiv etc). Our system works particularly well for niche areas -- the adaptive nature lets it dig and find things to hone in right on what you want to know about.

I have started using it recently and love hiw relevant the papers are to my scientific question and the "save search " function.
Congratulations 🎊
I came across this new AI tool from a random ad, it seems it can find complex papers better than Google Scholar, but I'm skeptical if it's truly 10-50x better, as a bank CEO focused on innovation, I'd like to see more transparent data on its performance, also is there a feature for integrating it with existing research library databases?
