ABOUT ELICIT Elicit is an AI research assistant that uses language models to help researchers figure out what’s true and make better decisions, starting with common research tasks like literature review. What we're aiming for: 1. Elicit radically increases the amount of good reasoning in the world. - For experts, Elicit pushes the frontier forward. - For non-experts, Elicit makes good reasoning more affordable. People who don't have the tools, expertise, time, or mental energy to make well-reasoned decisions on their own can do so with Elicit. 2. Elicit is a scalable ML system based on human-understandable task decompositions, with supervision of process, not outcomes https://ought.org/updates/2022-04-06-process. This expands our collective understanding of safe AGI architectures. Visit our Twitter https://twitter.com/elicitorg to learn more about how Elicit is helping researchers and making progress on our mission. WHY WE'RE HIRING FOR THIS ROLE Since launching the newest version of Elicit last fall, response has been strong. We introduced Elicit Plus, our monthly subscription plan, and added thousands of paying users in a matter of months as well as hundreds of thousands of new sign-ups. This has been energizing for our team, but we want to ship more useful functionality to our users even faster. To that end, we need a strong front-end engineer who'll help us meet this demand while pushing the bar for quality and user experience even higher.
