Elicit

Elicit is built specifically for academic and scientific research workflows: ask a research question, and it searches a database of well over 100 million papers, surfaces the most relevant ones, and extracts specific data points — sample sizes, methods, findings — into a structured table you can compare across studies. This turns what would normally be hours of manually reading abstracts into a much faster screening process for systematic literature reviews, and every extracted data point links back to the source paper for verification. The free tier covers a meaningful number of searches and extractions per month, suitable for occasional research; paid plans starting around $12/mo raise those limits for heavier academic or professional use. Elicit is far less useful for general, non-academic questions — its value is concentrated specifically in working through scientific literature, and extracted data should still be spot-checked against the original papers.
