Elicit is an AI research assistant that uses language models to help researchers figure out what's true and make better decisions, starting with common research tasks like literature review. Elicit aims to radically increase the amount of good reasoning in the world, pushing the frontier forward for experts while making good reasoning more affordable for non-experts. The company is a scalable ML system based on human-understandable task decompositions, with supervision of process, not outcomes, expanding the collective understanding of safe AGI architectures. Since launching the newest version of Elicit, the response has been strong, leading to the introduction of Elicit Plus and a significant increase in paying users. The company is looking to add a strong senior-level engineer to help meet the demand for new features and improved performance.
