About Elicit

Elicit is a research workflow tool built around the mechanics of a literature review rather than a single conversational answer. A researcher can search for papers, assemble a working set, screen results, extract the same information from multiple studies, and compare findings in structured tables. This makes Elicit more suitable than a question-first search tool for repeatable evidence projects, while automated search, screening, and extraction still require protocol decisions and checking against the original papers.
