Elicit
The AI assistant for academic research that automatically synthesizes scientific literature
Overview
Elicit queries a base of 138 million scientific articles and automatically generates structured summaries with data extraction (methods, results, sample size). The free plan gives access to 2 automated reports per month. The Pro plan at $49/month unlocks 12 monthly systematic reviews and unlimited columns.
For a healthcare professional, strategic consultant, or lawyer wanting evidence-based practice, Elicit is transformational. In 10 minutes it produces what an intern would take 2 days to compile, complete with exact citations for every claim.
Our verdict
The reference tool for anyone needing serious literature reviews: healthcare professionals, researchers, strategic consultants, trainers. Less useful for commercial intelligence or non-scientific data. English-only interface, though non-English scientific articles are well indexed.
