I’ve been using a similar platform that I really like called Answer This[1]. I’ll have to check out yours as well and see how it compares.

I ran these two example searches we have on our homepage on AnswerThis: (3D ion shuttling) https://undermind.ai/query_app/display_one_search/b3767fb7b6... (laser cooling to BEC) https://undermind.ai/query_app/display_one_search/c5f77f862a...

The results from their website aren't sharable, but their lists of references do not seem relevant (ie. they miss the fact that shuttling needs to be in 3D, and the list of experiments for laser cooling to BEC is missing all of the relevant papers).

I think, like other research tools, they're more focused on the summarization/extraction of information, rather than the discovery process (though they are similar to us in the way they say they do multi-stage retrieval and it takes some time).

AnswerThis founder here. Hang on tight, our next few updates will be instrumental in conversational feedback-based paper searches.

I love all the work that's being done in the field.

Can't wait for science to be faster.
