Elicit - AI Literature Review and Research Assistant
Assistente di ricerca basato sull’IA che cerca nella letteratura scientifica, sintetizza le evidenze, crea rapporti corredati di citazioni e supporta le revisioni sistematiche.
In inglese
Elicit helps researchers search academic papers and clinical trials, extract structured evidence, generate cited research reports, and organize sources in a shared library. Its Research Agent also works across scientific databases, public sources, and uploaded documents.
Researchers, academics, life-science teams, and organizations use it for literature reviews, clinical research, evidence synthesis, and decision support. Advanced usage, collaboration features, systematic-review workflows, and API access require paid plans; it does not replace expert review of research conclusions.
