Same! Pretty sure there will be tons of products for semantic search over local & cloud files within the next 1-2 years.

For now we've chosen to build Elicit around aggregating and synthesizing research - what is the evidence in each paper, what are the arguments, how do they come together to inform questions people care about?

We think research is a good starting point for figuring out how to use language models to do high-quality reasoning because (a) researchers care a lot about what's true and (b) research is already more structured than most other sources of knowledge.
