Elicit

Elicit is an AI research assistant specifically designed for academic and scientific research. It automates the most time-consuming parts of literature review — finding relevant papers, extracting key data, and synthesizing findings across studies. It has indexed over 200 million academic papers and uses AI to help researchers navigate this vast knowledge base.

Elicit's workflow tools allow researchers to define specific questions, find relevant papers, extract structured data (like sample sizes, methodologies, and key findings), and organize results into systematic review tables. The AI understands academic paper structure and can identify relevant information even when it's buried deep within supplementary materials.

Elicit offers a free tier for basic searches and a Plus plan for researchers who need higher usage limits and advanced features. It's invaluable for graduate students, academic researchers, systematic review authors, and R&D teams in any field that relies on scientific literature. It turns weeks of manual literature review into hours of focused, AI-assisted research.
