Elicit
An AI powered research assistant that helps review academic literature, extract data from papers, and build automatic comparison tables.
Elicit is an AI powered research tool built to speed up the process of reviewing scientific literature. The tool finds papers relevant to a research question, extracts key data such as methodology, sample size, and findings, and presents it all in an organized table that makes it easy to compare sources.
The tool is aimed mainly at researchers, graduate students, and professionals in scientific and medical fields who need to conduct systematic literature reviews, though business owners in health and science related industries can also use it to quickly build a knowledge base before making a decision.
Key capabilities include smart search across tens of millions of papers, automatic data extraction from each paper according to categories the user defines, and a comparative summary that makes it easy to quickly spot trends and contradictions between different studies.
In a research workflow, Elicit fits the deepest stage: after tools like Perplexity or Consensus help identify a general direction, Elicit lets you dive into the details of the studies themselves and build a systematic, data driven review.
