Consensus

About Consensus

Consensus is a specialized AI search engine that indexes peer-reviewed scientific literature and applies language models to help researchers, students, and curious professionals find evidence-based answers to complex questions. Unlike general web search that surfaces news articles and opinion pieces, Consensus queries exclusively from academic papers and synthesizes findings through a Consensus Meter — a visual summary of whether the scientific literature supports, refutes, or remains divided on a given claim. GPT-4-powered summaries distill complex methodology sections into accessible language without losing scientific precision. Claim extraction isolates specific testable assertions from papers, making it easier to evaluate research quality. Study details panels provide sample sizes, effect sizes, and methodology flags at a glance. Citation export in multiple formats streamlines academic writing workflows. The platform covers medicine, psychology, nutrition, economics, and dozens of other research domains, making evidence-based decision-making faster for practitioners across fields.
