We've redesigned the Elicit homepage around a single, powerful idea: the Research Agent is now your primary entry point for all research on Elicit. Instead of choosing between workflows and tools upfront, you can now just ask a question. The Research Agent will find papers, synthesize evidence, and deliver a comprehensive answer — all in one conversation. The Research Agent has the flexibility to search across a broad range of sources (e.g. publications, public filings, press releases) to give you better answers. Need to dig deeper? Follow up directly with the agent to refine your analysis, explore a subtopic, or take your research in a new direction. |
From quick lookups to deep analysis |
The Research Agent handles the full spectrum of research questions. Ask a lightweight factual question and get a fast, grounded answer. For complex, multi-faceted questions that require synthesizing across many papers or weighing conflicting evidence, turn on Extended Thinking mode and the agent will conduct a thorough, multi-step analysis across sources. |
Extended Thinking for comprehensive analyses |
Elicit Plus, Pro and Scale subscribers have access to Extended Thinking mode, where the Research Agent spends more time developing a deeper, more thorough analysis before responding. When your question demands rigor - comparing interventions, mapping a research landscape, or evaluating conflicting evidence - Extended Thinking produces substantially more comprehensive results. |
Existing workflows and tools are still accessible |
Workflows like Systematic Review and tools like Extract Data are still available. You can access them from the left sidebar or the workflow dropdown next to the input box — we've just streamlined the experience. |
Why we made this change |
We believe the Research Agent will significantly improve how you use Elicit. Research is interactive and comprehensive, not a series of disconnected searches. With this new homepage, you can start with a question, follow the evidence wherever it leads, and build up a complete picture — all in one place and with the same confidence and comprehensiveness you already expect from Elicit. Try it out from your Elicit homepage. We'd love to hear what you think. |
