Elicit is an AI research platform supporting researchers with literature reviews and evidence synthesis. Over 7 million researchers have used Elicit, including those at 16 of the top 20 life sciences companies. Unlike general chatbots, Elicit focuses on academic reliability, finding relevant articles even without perfect keywords, creating research matrices, and synthesizing evidence for tasks like systematic reviews, saving researchers significant time. The Elicit team has worked on AI to accelerate good reasoning since 2018, when they pioneered process supervision and factored cognition as architectures that ensure powerful AI systems can remain transparent and steerable in high-stakes environments.
