Elicit
AI research assistant for academic literature review
SearchFreemiumLLM-drafted
Part of this entry was LLM-drafted and is being polished.
Elicit helps researchers do literature review faster — search papers, extract key information into a structured table, summarize across many papers at once. From Ought, an AI alignment lab. Used in academic / nonprofit / policy research.
Editor's verdict
Specialized for the literature review workflow — extracting comparable data from many papers into a table is uniquely well done. Less useful for casual fact-checking (Consensus is faster). PhD students / policy analysts who do real lit review weekly will find Elicit indispensable; everyone else won't fully use it.
