What Elicit Does

Elicit is an AI-powered research assistant designed to help scientists, researchers, and analysts navigate academic literature with unprecedented speed and accuracy. Trusted by over 5 million researchers across pharmaceuticals, academia, medical devices, policy, and consumer goods, Elicit transforms how professionals discover, synthesize, and leverage scientific knowledge.

Core Capabilities

• Semantic Search: Search across 138 million academic papers and 545,000 clinical trials using natural language queries—no need to know exact keywords • AI Research Reports: Generate comprehensive, customizable research briefs inspired by systematic review methodology, with full control over included papers and covered information • Systematic Literature Review Automation: Automate screening and data extraction for systematic reviews, with researchers reporting up to 80% time savings • Research Library: Store, organize, and reuse sources across projects for streamlined workflow management • Research Alerts: Stay current with evolving research without inbox clutter

Why Elicit Stands Out

Elicit differentiates itself through scale (analyzing up to 20,000 data points and 1,000 papers simultaneously), accuracy (validated as the most accurate AI product for scientific research, achieving 95%+ recall and 96%+ extraction rates in systematic reviews), transparency (all AI claims backed by sentence-level citations), and its structured workflow approach that goes beyond simple chat interfaces to deliver interactive tables and multi-step analysis.

Who It's For

Elicit serves researchers across diverse domains—from pharmaceutical companies accelerating drug development, to academics pushing scientific frontiers, medical device designers ensuring product safety, policymakers crafting evidence-based regulations, and industrial engineers discovering new materials. Whether conducting quick literature checks or comprehensive multi-month reviews, Elicit supports researchers from beginning to end.

Integration & Access

Elicit offers an API for embedding research capabilities into custom workflows and autonomous research agents, with MCP server support for advanced integrations. The platform is accessible via web application with flexible pricing tiers to accommodate individual researchers and enterprise teams.
