 Message: Paul,  thanks for posting your question. I  tested out Elicit.org a little.  I'm impressed by how Elicit writes a summary of the top four results and precents key excerpts from citing articles about the strength of the study's findings. Most of my test searches don't find very recent results. This could be that I don't understand how to search it well or they have to improve this.  I think Elicit searches the Sematic Scholar database which includes research research.  Elicit.org is still in Beta. It will not be long before it writes a summary of scores of articles and yields better top search results. Hope they keep it free when this happens. 

If you have time, please let us know what you think after kicking the tires.   -Scott

I would recommend looking at the GPT3-based tool Ellicit (https://elicit.org) if you are interested in the use of "AI" tools in systematic reviews. It's specifically being designed for scholarly use (unlike ChatGPT) and won't make things up (also unlike ChatGPT.)

Hi all. I am not experienced with this. But does anyone have experience with, or comments on using ChatGPT and evidence synthesis methods for reviews ?
