Elicit - AI Literature Review and Research Assistant | AI.info
Elicit automates academic literature review across 125M+ papers with full-text data extraction, consensus mapping, and research synthesis. Built for scientists.
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.
