Actually, it's not an LLM!

We do use LLMs, but the secret sauce is an approach we call Factored Cognition which we wrote about here: https://ought.org/research/factored-cognition

(Elicit the company and app was spun out from Ought the research lab).

We do joke internally about the homophone (in fact, IIRC we did a little joke on our CEO by rebranding for his birthday in 2022) but I'm sorry to report that we're all careful, ethical, and well-behaved people :(

Cool, thanks for more info, nice to see other approaches. What data is used for training?
