Elicit: Research Agent and systematic review workflow

Use Research Agent for new paper searches, extraction tables and questions about selected papers. Dedicated Systematic Reviews on Pro, Scale or Enterprise guide a defined question through gathering, screening, extraction and reporting. Source passages support checking each result; the final report covers a plan-limited subset of studies. This is an editorial review of public documentation and independent historical use, not a hands-on accuracy test.

Best for: Researchers with a defined review protocol who can verify extracted values against full text.; Teams comparing studies in structured tables and budgeting for paid review and export features.

Not ideal for: Projects expecting exhaustive literature coverage or reliable non-English results from one tool.; Teams needing automatic study-quality judgments or a clearly documented guarantee that their data will not be used for training on any plan.

Limitations: Check numbers, context, screening decisions and citations manually; supplement searches with relevant databases.; Full-text work requires accessible or lawfully supplied papers. Figure extraction needs Scale/Enterprise plus premium parsing.; Legacy standalone sessions are read/export-only after 30 September 2026; export or migrate before their as-yet-unscheduled 2027 removal.

Pricing: Basic is free with limited Agent/Report usage. Dedicated reviews require Pro or above; Agent table export starts at Plus and review table export at Pro. Included monthly usage is shared and varies with task complexity. Paid price and exact allowance depend on the current account/billing view, which was not resolved here; verify checkout. Pro/Scale extra usage is optional and separately billed.

Privacy: Uploaded PDFs are described as encrypted, private and outside the public corpus. This does not establish a general no-training promise or deletion deadline for ordinary plans. API rules prohibit personal data and limit training of input to separate opt-in; Enterprise terms are separate.

Platforms: Web account; Chrome and Edge full-text extensions for eligible review plans. Native apps, offline operation and universal regional access are unverified.

Compare next: Consensus: Compare a paper discovery and cited-answer workflow when you mainly need to locate and read research; no superiority claim.; Gemini Notebook: Compare synthesis of selected sources when systematic screening and extraction tables are not the main task.
