Elicit

Elicit is an AI research assistant designed for scientific literature review and evidence synthesis. It automates the most time-consuming parts of research — finding relevant papers, extracting specific data points (sample sizes, methods, results), and synthesizing findings across studies. Elicit is especially powerful for systematic reviews and meta-analyses where you need to process hundreds of papers.

Unlike general AI search tools, Elicit is purpose-built for academic research workflows. You can set up extraction templates, process papers in bulk, and export structured data to spreadsheets. The platform excels at turning unstructured PDF content into organized, analyzable data — a task that traditionally takes researchers days or weeks of manual work.
