Elicit was developed specifically for the scientific workflow. What used to take weeks — reading thousands of papers and extracting relevant information — Elicit can accomplish in minutes. This makes the tool particularly valuable for doctoral students, scientists, and research teams conducting literature reviews.
The table extraction is a particular highlight: Elicit can extract specific data points from papers and present them directly in a comparable table. For people without a research background, however, the interface is not immediately intuitive — it takes some time to unlock the tool’s full potential.
