Elicit

Elicit is an AI research assistant designed specifically for systematic literature review and evidence synthesis. It searches across roughly 125 million academic papers and lets users build a structured 'research matrix' where each row is a paper and each column is a question or data point that Elicit extracts automatically, such as study design, sample size, interventions and outcomes. Workflows include finding papers, summarizing key takeaways, extracting custom data from PDFs, and generating Markdown reports. Elicit emphasises transparent grounding by linking every claim back to the underlying passage. The platform is popular with academic researchers, evidence-based medicine teams, policy analysts and corporate R&D groups, with enterprise plans adding shared workspaces, custom extractions and audit logs. Recent updates have focused on higher-accuracy systematic review workflows and deeper integration with reference managers.
