#62How would you compare your product to elicit.ai? In my opinion elicit has better looking UI and much more features and further along
In my experience, elicit’s big weakness is accuracy.

#63I’ve been using a similar platform that I really like called Answer This[1]. I’ll have to check out yours as well and see how it compares. 1. https://answerthis.io/
AnswerThis founder here. Hang on tight, our next few updates will be instrumental in conversational feedback-based paper searches.
I love all the work that's being done in the field.
Can't wait for science to be faster.

Agreed, it used to be even harder. But on the other hand, there were also way less papers back then to have to sift through :)

#66So does this undermine academics? the research industry? the academic publishing industry? Who exactly is being "undermined" by this AI product?
With the current attitudes to AI, the name feels a little tone deaf being so easily mistaken for AI undermining people.

Yeah I get it, but if someone said "check out undermind", I could easily hear it as "check out undermined", as they are pronounced identically for most English language speakers.
