Elicit

Elicit is an AI-powered literature review tool designed to significantly accelerate and streamline research for academics, especially PhD candidates and researchers.

It helps users find relevant papers, "summarize papers," and "extract key findings" more efficiently than manual approaches.

Users pose research questions in natural language, and Elicit’s AI searches its academic paper database, providing concise summaries and highlighting key relevant information.

Key features include intelligent "Concept Mapping" to visualize idea and paper connections, powerful Boolean search for precise querying, and research organization and annotation tools.

By automating discovery and synthesis, Elicit helps researchers identify knowledge gaps, formulate hypotheses, build stronger arguments, and write comprehensive literature reviews faster and more accurately, freeing time for deeper analysis and critical thinking.
