Elicit is one of my favourite AI powered academic search engines. I wish it was around when I was doing my PhD. Simply write your research question and Elicit provides you with answers sourced from different research papers. In fact, I usually am not interested in the answers Elicit spit out but in the sources it uses to base its answers on. Those sources are usually popular research articles in your field area and chances are you will find papers you have not checked before. Using Elicit will enable you to explore your research area further, familiarize yourself with the current literature in it, and get help with quickly sifting through the materials. You can easily create tables and Elicit organizes details from papers so you can access them anytime you want. You can also generate abstract summaries and many more.
