    Elician here! Our main focus is a little different to SciSummary actually. We're focussed on understanding researchers broader workflows, and providing a research assistant (i.e. r…

    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 (…
