Hello! We got a ton of requests for summary columns, so we added them to Elicit. Before, there wasn't a way to summarize papers that you had uploaded to your library. Now, you can run the Extract data from PDFs workflow and add the "Summary" column:

We also added "Summary of introduction" and "Summary of discussion". "Summary of introduction" can show how a paper fits into the literature on a research question, and "Summary of discussion" can show how it helps answer that question:

It only makes sense to use "Summary of introduction" and "Summary of discussion" when Elicit has access to the full paper. Either use the "Has PDF" filter in the Find papers workflow , or upload the paper to your library and use Extract data from PDFs.

In addition to these new columns, when Elicit cannot provide an answer for a column, it will  now try to explain why:

Finally, Elicit's answers are now more concise.

The new columns and the improvements to Elicit's answers work best in high-accuracy mode, available to Elicit Plus subscribers.

I hope these improvements to Elicit columns help you extract data and insights from papers more quickly and reliably!
