Elicit AI

06/30/2025

Today we introduce Elicit Alerts, a new way to stay informed about relevant research with AI.

Existing tools don’t work. Automated alerts via Google Scholar or PubMed are difficult to set up and monitor, and often return noisy results that waste researcher time.

Elicit Alerts solve these problems with AI, allowing you to stay aware of the latest research, without the noise:
- Get alerts to your inbox when a new important paper is published.
- Use relevance scores to filter out the noise and focus your time on the right papers.
- Create your alerts with simple, natural language research questions instead of complex keywords alerts with boolean operators.

Now 😤:
Using Elicit to scale up a systematic review from 50 to 550 papers, with 99.4% accuracy.

The Biostatistics, Medical Affairs, and Marketing teams all use Elicit to do much deeper lit reviews, better validate clinical applications of next-generation microbial DNA tests, and get these diagnostics to more patients.
