Elicit

Elicit is an AI research assistant for finding papers, reviewing literature, and extracting information into tables. Researchers can work from a question or uploaded papers, inspect summaries, and return to the underlying evidence. It supports exploration as well as structured review workflows.

Key Highlights

• Paper search with summaries and cited answers
• Chat with papers that have full-text access
• Tables for extracting research information
• Research Agent and Research Reports
• Structured literature review workflows on paid plans

What Makes It Different

Elicit organizes research around papers and extracted evidence rather than general conversation alone. A researcher can compare information across studies in a table, then inspect the paper behind an answer. This can support review work, but it does not replace judging study quality or checking whether evidence answers the question.

Features & Capabilities

Search for relevant studies, review their summaries, and organize findings in a table. Research Agent and Research Reports support broader tasks with plan-specific allowances. Zotero import connects an existing paper collection to the workflow.

Paid options add exports and larger research or extraction allowances. Teams can choose collaboration and administrative features. Match the selected plan to the number of papers, extraction columns, and shared users in the actual project.

User Ratings and Testimonials

Evaluate Elicit with papers you know: check study methods, reported findings, missing data, and the traceability of answers. A useful summary should preserve uncertainty and differences between studies. Review the original article before citing an extracted result in a report or decision.

Pricing & Value

Basic is free, with unlimited paper search and summaries, chat with papers that have full-text access, and limited Research Agent and Research Report usage.

Paid plans add usage, exports, structured reviews, and collaboration. Check the selected plan and billing option for its price and extraction allowances. Enterprise terms are custom.
