Undermind

What it does

Undermind takes a natural-language description of a research question and returns relevant scientific papers. It asks follow-up questions to clarify the goal, then searches the literature, reads and evaluates papers, and follows citation trails. Output includes lists of relevant papers, custom tables, and in-line citations that trace statements back to source papers.

Researchers use it to start a broad search, go deep on a topic, and keep tabs on a field over time. Users can iterate on reports, read full texts, extract details, sort and filter papers by relevance, and get notified when relevant papers are published. It also works inside Claude, ChatGPT, and more. The vendor publishes benchmark results against web-search agents, which are self-reported and not independently verified.

It suits researchers, academics, and industry R&D teams. A free plan has standard rate limits, while Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans add higher usage limits, full-text analysis, and team administration. Enterprise terms, security review, and custom pricing are arranged through sales. Results should be checked against the cited source papers before being relied on.
