Overview
Elicit is an AI research assistant for finding, screening, and synthesizing academic papers. It helps a researcher search literature, extract structured information, compare studies, and organize evidence for a review.
The service is aimed at researchers and students who need a paper-centered workflow rather than general web search. Citation coverage and extraction quality vary by corpus and task, so outputs require source review.
