Elicit

Elicit is an AI research assistant that automates and accelerates research workflows, such as parts of a literature review.

Elicit is an AI-powered research assistant designed to automate and accelerate the process of conducting literature reviews and synthesizing scientific research. It leverages large language models to help users find relevant academic papers, even without perfect keyword matches, by understanding the user's research question. Once papers are found, Elicit can summarize the key takeaways, extract specific data into structured tables, and identify common themes or concepts across a large number of documents. The primary audience for Elicit includes students, academics, scientists, and analysts in various fields who need to stay on top of existing literature or conduct thorough research for new projects. By automating the most time-consuming parts of the research workflow—such as sifting through papers and manually extracting data—Elicit allows researchers to focus more on critical analysis, interpretation, and generating new insights.
