Consensus is an AI-powered academic search engine that finds, synthesizes, and summarizes insights from over 200 million peer-reviewed scientific papers. Rather than returning a list of links, Consensus reads through the research literature and delivers evidence-based answers with proper citations, making it an indispensable research companion for anyone who needs reliable, science-backed information.
Consensus features a unique Consensus Meter that visualizes scientific agreement on Yes/No research questions, showing at a glance how the evidence leans. Pro Analysis powered by GPT-4 delivers deeper insights, draft outlines, and section-specific summaries from the literature. Deep Search automates full literature reviews by building comprehensive search strategies, expanding key terms, identifying conflicting arguments, and exploring citation graphs. Medical Mode narrows results to high-quality clinical guidelines and top medical journal articles. Users can save papers to custom lists, export citations to reference managers like Zotero and Mendeley, and conduct searches in multiple languages.
Consensus is ideal for academic researchers conducting literature reviews, graduate students exploring new topics, healthcare professionals seeking evidence-based clinical answers, policy analysts needing data-backed insights, and science journalists verifying claims. Anyone who needs to quickly understand what the scientific literature says about a specific question will find Consensus invaluable.
