## About

Elicit is an AI research tool for finding and summarising scientific evidence. It searches over 138 million academic papers and 545,000 clinical trials. Its Research Agent gathers evidence from scientific databases, academic journals, public data sources and documents you upload, then produces cited reports, tables, figures and slides from that evidence.

Researchers can start with a plain question. Semantic search means you do not need to know every keyword to get relevant results. Research Reports follow a process inspired by systematic reviews, and you can change which papers and what information they cover. For systematic reviews, Elicit can automate screening and data extraction. The page says researchers report up to 80% time savings on that work.

Every AI-generated claim is supported by sentence-level citations from its underlying sources. Elicit can find up to 1,000 relevant papers and analyse up to 20,000 data points at once. Sources can be stored in a Library for reuse in later projects, and Routines check for new research so that a project stays current.

Elicit is built for researchers in academia, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, policy and government, consumer goods, industrials and software. The Basic plan is free, with limited usage for the Research Agent and Research Reports. Paid plans are charged per user per month, and the page lists the Plus plan from $11 per user per month when billed annually. Enterprise pricing is custom and is arranged through sales.
