Tool profile
AI research assistant for finding papers, summarizing evidence, and organizing literature review.
Literature review
Elicit is a research workflow tool built around finding papers, extracting evidence, and speeding up literature review. It sits in the evidence-synthesis category rather than the general chatbot category, which makes it most useful when a user needs research support tied to papers and claims instead of freeform brainstorming.
That makes it relevant for academics, analysts, policy teams, and knowledge workers who need to move through academic literature faster while staying anchored to sources.
Quick fit
Editorial take
Elicit is strongest when the work is evidence gathering, not content generation. The real test is whether it improves the speed and structure of literature review without encouraging people to over-trust summaries instead of checking the papers.
