About Elicit

Elicit is an AI research assistant that fundamentally transforms how you conduct research. By harnessing language models, Elicit automates tedious tasks, helping you go from complex questions to evidence-backed decisions in minutes. Today, hundreds of thousands of researchers across various fields, from biomedicine to health economics, leverage Elicit to accelerate literature reviews, automate systematic reviews, and explore new scientific domains. Their mission is to scale up good reasoning, ensuring machine learning aids in critical thinking and reflection, not just straightforward tasks.

How We Work

Elicit fosters a high-agency, low-bureaucracy environment. You will find a small, talent-dense team where everyone takes ownership, and ego is set aside. They ship new user-facing features every week, prioritizing continuous growth and impact. While they offer a flexible work environment with an office in Oakland, CA, and remote team members across North America and Europe, in-person retreats are held at least quarterly to strengthen team cohesion.

Engineering at Elicit

Elicit is building the reasoning layer for science and decision-making, pioneering 'supervision of process, not outcomes.' Instead of relying solely on large black-box models, they break down complex questions into human-legible steps and supervise the reasoning process itself. This approach delivers transparent, defensible answers now and paves a safer path for advanced AI. Engineers compose thousands of calls to language models to accomplish tasks that single calls cannot, curate datasets for fine-tuning, and scale semantic search from thousands to over 100,000 documents. They are continually optimizing for truthfulness in high-stakes situations like biomedical research, making AI alignment an integral part of their success.
