How do I get notified about new research papers matching my topic?

WebRun runs your saved Elicit research question every morning, checking for papers published since the last run and summarizing each one's key finding. It sends the full digest to Telegram and texts you on Twilio if a paper looks highly relevant, so a new finding never sits buried in a search you forgot to rerun.

  • New matching papers get summarized the same day they're published
  • Highly relevant papers get a direct text instead of getting buried
  • You never have to remember to rerun the search yourself

Questions, answered

Does it save or cite the papers for me automatically?

No. It summarizes and links to each new paper. Saving it to your reference manager or citing it is left to you.

What makes a paper highly relevant enough for a text?

One that closely matches your saved research question's core topic, not just a loose keyword match. Everything else goes into the daily digest instead.

What if no new papers were published?

The digest still arrives and simply says there is nothing new today, so you know the check ran.

Put this on autopilot.
