Description
An AI research assistant for working with scientific literature. It searches a large database of papers, summarizes them, lets you chat with a paper's full text, and pulls data from many papers into a table, which helps with screening for systematic reviews. Research reports and answers come with sentence-level citations to the sources. It also has a library for saving sources, an import from Zotero, and tracking of new research. It runs in the browser at elicit.com.
