CiteDashAdaptive AI research agent that iteratively searches until it finds what you need.
Undermind is a genuinely novel approach -- adaptive iterative search is a real improvement over single-shot semantic search, and the team's physics background shows in the quality of the retrieval. For the narrow job of finding papers on a hard query, Undermind is impressive. It is also very new, and it stops at paper discovery. CiteDash covers the full pipeline from discovery through verified cited output. For researchers, the two can combine well: use Undermind to surface hard-to-find papers, then drop them into CiteDash as inputs for writing and verification.

Researchers chasing hard-to-find papers where traditional keyword and vector search have hit their limits.
You need AI-powered research that searches real academic databases, generates fully cited reports, and provides study tools -- all with built-in citation verification to eliminate hallucinations.
Undermind runs an adaptive multi-step search where the agent reformulates queries based on intermediate results, rather than doing a single semantic search. This helps with niche or hard-to-phrase research questions where initial keyword matches miss the point.
No. Undermind is a discovery tool -- it finds papers matching your query. CiteDash covers the full workflow, including synthesizing the found papers into a structured, cited research report.
Possibly, for hard-to-find niche research. CiteDash's own search spans 9+ academic sources and works well for most questions, but Undermind's adaptive search can sometimes surface obscure papers that keyword or vector search misses. You can feed those results into CiteDash as custom sources.
Undermind launched publicly via Y Combinator's W25 batch and is actively developed. As with any new research tool, features and pricing are evolving. CiteDash has a stable production platform with mobile apps and a mature feature set.
Undermind surfaces real papers from academic indexes, so the papers themselves exist. However, it is a discovery tool and does not synthesize claims, so there is nothing to verify at the claim level. CiteDash synthesizes claims and verifies them against source material.
