The article discusses the launch of Undermind, a new AI tool that uses OpenAI's language model to help researchers find relevant academic papers. The tool uses a conversational interface to understand the user's query, then searches through a database of 200 million academic papers to find the most relevant results. The tool also provides a summary of each paper, saving researchers the time of reading through each one in detail. Users have praised the tool for its ability to find relevant papers that they had previously missed, and for its potential to save time in the research process. However, some users have suggested improvements, such as the ability to refine searches and a more user-friendly citation format.Key takeaways:
- The tool, Undermind, uses AI to search and summarize academic papers, helping researchers find relevant literature.- Users have reported that the tool has helped them find papers they had previously missed.- The tool currently only searches abstracts, but there are plans to include full texts in the future.- Some users have suggested improvements such as refining search results, changing citation format, and adding a student pricing tier.
