What it is
Elicit is an AI research assistant for scientific literature. You ask a research question; it searches a database of more than 138 million papers, summarizes and lets you chat with them, extracts data into tables, and its Research Agent and Research Reports produce cited write-ups. Paid plans add clinical trials search and systematic review workflows.
It suits academics, analysts and anyone making evidence-based decisions. The free Basic plan includes unlimited search, summaries and chat with papers, but only limited Research Agent and report usage. Plus costs $11 per user a month billed annually ($132 a year), and Pro, for systematic reviews, is $39 a month billed annually.
Best for
- Literature reviews that pull data from many papers into one table
- Systematic reviews that screen thousands of papers
- Researchers checking what the evidence says on a question
