Elicit Freemium

What is Elicit?

Elicit is an AI research assistant designed for anyone who needs to find, understand, and synthesize scientific literature. Instead of manually skimming hundreds of papers, you ask a research question in natural language and Elicit searches its database of over 200 million academic papers, ranks the most relevant ones, extracts key claims, summarizes findings, and presents a structured evidence table — all with direct citations to the original sources so you can verify every statement.

Product Features

• Natural Language Research Queries: Ask “What is the effect of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance?” and Elicit returns relevant papers ranked by relevance and study quality.
• Automated Paper Summaries: Each result includes a concise summary of the paper’s core finding, methodology, and sample size — read the gist in seconds instead of the full paper.
• Evidence Extraction Tables: View key data points — effect sizes, sample sizes, methods, outcomes — from multiple papers in a side-by-side comparison table.
• Citation-Backed Answers: Every claim in Elicit’s synthesis links to a specific paper and passage, ensuring transparency and verifiability.
• Paper Search & Filtering: Filter results by year, study type, journal quality, methodology, and domain to narrow your evidence base.
• Concept Exploration: Discover related concepts, frameworks, and measurement approaches that expand your understanding beyond the initial question.
• Upload Your Own Papers: Add PDFs to your personal library and Elicit will summarize and index them alongside search results.

Product Highlights

• 200M+ paper database — comprehensive coverage across medicine, social science, computer science, economics, and more.
• Structured evidence synthesis — not just search results, but organized comparisons with extracted data points.
• Cited and verifiable — every answer traces back to a specific paper passage; no hallucinated claims.
• Hours of literature review in minutes — find, read, and compare relevant research without downloading and skimming PDFs manually.

• Academic researchers conducting literature reviews and evidence synthesis for papers and grant proposals.
• Data scientists and analysts finding empirical benchmarks, prior approaches, and validated methodologies for model design.
• Medical professionals quickly reviewing clinical evidence for treatment decisions and guideline development.
• Policy analysts synthesizing research across social science domains to inform evidence-based recommendations.
• Students navigating complex research topics with structured summaries and cited sources for thesis and coursework.
