0index_UndermindCompany
Research-paper search agent from Undermind: spends several minutes reading hundreds of papers and follows citations instead of returning keyword results. Built by two MIT physicists for deep literature reviews.
Facts
- The company was founded in 2023 by Joshua Ramette and Thomas Hartke, two MIT PhDs in quantum physics; it went through Y Combinator's S24 batch (summer 2024).
- According to its own 2024 white paper, the first-version search engine delivered results 10 times more relevant than Google Scholar.
- As of 08.2026, the site claims over 1,000 GSK scientists among its users; pricing: free, Pro $16 per month billed annually, Team $15 per person per month.
- Search mechanics: the agent asks follow-up questions, reads hundreds of papers and follows citations for 3 to 6 minutes, then delivers a report with page-level links and alerts users to new publications on the topic.
The full card is in the works: the "worth it or not" verdict, pricing and a comparison with neighbors will appear as it moves through the card factory.
