About Elicit
Elicit automates the grunt work of literature review. Ask a research question and it searches 125 million papers, screens them against your criteria, and extracts variables into a structured table you can audit cell by cell. Research teams report weeks of screening compressed into afternoons. It works from abstracts unless you upload full texts, so verification stays part of the job.
