Scale up good reasoning

Machine learning will transform any area of life that has abundant data and easily measurable objectives. But will it make us wiser?

Ought is a product-driven research lab that develops mechanisms for delegating high-quality reasoning to advanced machine learning systems.

Our AI Research assistant

Elicit

Elicit helps researchers and academics explore the scientific literature. It searches through millions of papers, then uses machine learning to extract key information from each source.

Researchers currently save an average of 1.4 hours a week with Elicit.
