Elicit is an AI research tool that searches academic literature to answer research questions — finding relevant papers, extracting key data points across studies, and synthesizing findings in a structured table rather than a prose summary. It is particularly strong for systematic literature reviews, where it can process hundreds of papers and extract specific attributes (study population, methodology, outcomes) into a spreadsheet automatically. Researchers, policy analysts, and evidence-based practitioners use it to dramatically accelerate literature synthesis.
