Elicit Introduction
Elicit is a pioneering AI research assistant that has become essential for academics, think tanks, and R&D departments. It applies advanced language models to automate the most time-consuming parts of a literature review: searching for relevant work, pulling out key data points, and organizing evidence. Researchers can use Elicit to quickly get a lay of the land on a new topic, test hypotheses against existing literature, and conduct more thorough, reproducible systematic reviews. It doesn’t replace critical thinking but supercharges the collection and organization of scholarly evidence.
