 Elicit: The AI Research Assistant 

 Elicit, developed by Ought, is an AI tool to find 'seed articles' and to mine for keywords/subject headings. When you enter a question, it returns alternate questions that can lead to further "seed" articles.

 Searching Features: 

 
 Elicit uses language models to help you automate research workflows, like parts of literature review.

 Elicit can find relevant papers without perfect keyword match, summarize takeaways from the paper specific to your question, and extract key information from the papers.

 While answering questions with research is the main focus of Elicit, there are also other research tasks that help with brainstorming, summarization, and text classification.

 You can save and export your work to citation managers such as Zotero.
