Embase AI vs Felo Search

Embase AI is Elsevier’s natural-language search tool for biomedical literature. It searches Embase, which the product page says contains 47 million records, and summarizes findings from the 30 most relevant peer-reviewed articles. Users can filter by publication year, publication type and study type, or extend searches to preprints, conference abstracts, ClinicalTrials.gov studies, and articles in press or in process. Summaries link to relevant articles, with references ranked through term-based retrieval and then neural semantic ranking. Users can inspect the AI-generated Embase query, refine it by opening results in Embase, or copy the query text. Follow-up questions and session export support continued searching and record keeping. Elsevier says information is not stored in the LLM or used for training. It presents the product for biomedical research, including users in pharma, medtech, universities and libraries. Embase AI is paid, has a three-day trial, and lists no price; prospective customers can request a demo. It is available on Android, iOS, macOS, web and Windows.
