Elicit

Elicit is an AI-powered research assistant designed to streamline and enhance the scientific research process. It helps researchers quickly understand existing scientific knowledge by searching over 138 million academic papers and 545,000 clinical trials using semantic search, meaning users don't need to know exact keywords. The platform generates high-quality, customizable research briefs and can automate parts of systematic literature reviews, potentially saving researchers up to 80% of their time. Elicit goes beyond basic search by offering features like organizing found sources in a personal library, setting up alerts for new research, and providing interactive tables and multi-step workflows. It emphasizes accuracy with sentence-level citations for AI-generated claims and offers significant scale, capable of analyzing up to 1,000 papers and 20,000 data points at once. It's ideal for academics, medical professionals, and anyone involved in evidence-based research who needs to efficiently discover, synthesize, and report on scientific literature.
