**Features**

## We built academic rigor into the product

### Sentence-level citations

- Elicit cites every AI-generated claim with sentence-level citations from the underlying papers.

Other AI tools only link to references. They make you read the entire paper to figure out where the AI answer is coming from. Sometimes, the information is not even in the cited source!

### Dynamic screening & extraction

- Sometimes you don't know which papers you want, or what information you want from them, until you see what's out there.

Elicit's interactive screening & data extraction help you explore the literature in real-time so that you can refine what you're looking for.

### Accuracy & precision

- We've rigorously trained and validated Elicit's accuracy. Elicit can analyze detailed information such as PFS, adverse effects, and detailed interventions or outcomes by trial arm at levels of accuracy exceeding human extraction.

### It’s more than chat

- Research is a complicated, multi-step process that branches and burrows in all directions.

Scientists love Elicit's multi-step workflows and large, interactive tables that let you go broader and deeper than chat.

**Testimonials**

## What expert researchers say

Once Elicit prompts are piloted and ready for use, less experienced researchers, such as undergraduates, can easily upload papers, run queries, and export Elicit information for expert review...Elicit has great potential to keep large-scale, multivariable meta-analyses tractable and accessible to researchers.

Associate professor

Elon University

When writing a review on spore germination, I gave Elicit a very tricky and obscure mechanistic question from my field. The results were impressively complete, nuanced, and useful—I already sent the tool to the rest of my lab.

Josh Cofsky

Postdoctoral researcher

at

Harvard Medical School

Elicit’s going to help me find that paper that’s high quality that I didn’t know was there—like that needle-in-the-haystack kind of paper. I really like that.
