Company mission

To scale up good reasoning for scientists and beyond.

Our take

Elicit, a tool born from the non-profit Ought, is dedicated to enhancing scientific research through machine learning. The platform automates research by finding relevant papers, extracting key information, and organizing it into concepts.

The platform's capabilities extend beyond simple paper searches to discovering broader concepts across studies. Researchers can ask detailed questions and receive organized responses from academic literature. This function saves time and enhances the quality of scientific inquiry, making Elicit an invaluable tool in the research community.

Now the company is setting its sights on launching a new version of its product, as well as expanding its team. A recent investment will help fuel these ambitions and underscore confidence in Elicit's potential, paving the way for continued growth and impact in advancing accessible research.
