Elicit helps researchers find and summarize academic papers. You ask a research question in plain language, and it searches across a large corpus of papers, extracts relevant information, and presents a table of findings. You can filter by study type, population, and outcome. The platform also extracts key data points from papers, which speeds up the early stages of a systematic review.

It's not a replacement for reading the papers yourself, and you should verify the extractions, but it can dramatically reduce the time spent screening abstracts and organizing findings. The free tier offers limited searches, with paid plans for more advanced features like full-text extraction. For researchers working on literature reviews, it's a useful addition to the workflow.
