It finds exactly what you need, no matter how complex, using an AI agent.\n* **Try it for free -** [www.undermind.ai](https://undermind.ai/1)\n\n# **———**\n\n---\n\n---\n\n---\n\n---\n\n# **❌ The Problem:**\n\nFinding 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.\n\n# **✨ Our Solution:**\n\nWe 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.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=82132\u0026key=user_uploads/1394068/4ce1e368-67de-47c7-af78-860c088daf7e)\n\n# **⚙️ How to use it**\n\nJust 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.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=82132\u0026key=user_uploads/1394068/8b54d81a-70b5-4001-b0a8-2235cf27e4b2)\n\n# **Why we’re doing this**\n\nWe’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.\n\n# **——**\n\n# **🙏 Asks**\n\n* Try Undermind now - [www.undermind.ai](https://undermind.ai/1)\n* **Share** this post with anyone you know who reads research - it’s helpful for anyone, from machine learning to biotech, medicine, and engineering!","slug":"LMi-undermind-radically-better-search-for-scientific-research","created_at":"2024-07-15T15:37:14.292Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T03:28:30.075Z","total_vote_count":50,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/LMi-undermind-radically-better-search-for-scientific-research","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=82132\u0026key=user_uploads/1394068/8b54d81a-70b5-4001-b0a8-2235cf27e4b2","company":{"id":29573,"name":"Undermind","slug":"undermind","url":"https://www.undermind.ai","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/2e44c4453098a5caed0988fdf2dff5b898cdcac4.png","batch":"Summer 2024","industry":"B2B","tags":["Machine Learning","Biotech","Search","AI"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/29573"}}
