Cofounder here - Elicit is an AI research assistant. Right now it's focused on helping people answer research questions by searching over claims instead of papers.

You can also teach Elicit to do custom tasks by giving input-output examples of intended behavior, e.g. for brainstorming counterarguments or decomposing research questions.

Our mailing list at list.elicit.org has more about what we've recently been adding.

I did sign up. It's an interesting service, I tried a couple of queries and got the kind of results I expected.

Not related to the service itself, but I strongly dislike those random (seemingly personal but are actually not) automated emails that start coming in 15 minutes after signing up. This is spam. Please don't spam.

What’s the corpus that’s searched?

Semantic Scholar via API (195M papers)

Does that include medical info? I have a friend building a pro-bono Multiple Sclerosis information database who might be interested.

Yes, includes PubMed, medRxiv, and a few others. The list of publishers is at https://www.semanticscholar.org/about/publishers
