## What makes Elicit search unique?

![Elicit search interface illustrating semantic search capabilities. A research question is typed: 'What are the biochemical mechanisms through which theanine affects cognitive function?'. The AI suggests refining the question with specific semantic elements like Mechanism, Dosage, Onset, and Comparison.](https://framerusercontent.com/images/jTEYkzaYq8QhnYC5uAKesGrObeQ.png?width=1480&height=546)
