TLDR
Undermind.ai is a worthy, niche competitor in the AI search space, and researchers will benefit from using it, but users should weigh buying a subscription and the platform’s shortcomings against the time savings offered by the final report.
Abstract
Undermind.ai is a worthy, niche competitor in the AI search space, and researchers will benefit from using it. For health sciences librarians, it offers an AI powered way to start a literature review in biomedicine, and to find highly relevant (seed) papers in support of knowledge syntheses. The system’s slow response time limits its utility in some contexts, despite helpful summaries, match scores, and a final report. Similar to Elicit.com, Undermind is a sophisticated option for researchers, and represents the future direction of AI search tools. Users should weigh buying a subscription and the platform’s shortcomings against the time savings offered by the final report.
