Consensus is an AI search engine built exclusively on peer-reviewed academic literature. Unlike general search engines that surface web pages or blog posts, Consensus searches across 200 million research papers and uses AI to extract the scientific consensus on any question you ask.
Type a research question in natural language — "Does intermittent fasting improve insulin sensitivity?" or "What interventions reduce employee burnout?" — and Consensus returns relevant papers with their key findings highlighted, alongside a Consensus Meter showing what percentage of research supports, refutes, or is inconclusive on the claim.
The Copilot feature uses GPT-4 to synthesize findings from multiple papers into a direct, cited answer with inline references — similar to a research summary written by an expert. Users can filter results by study type (RCT, meta-analysis, cohort study), publication year, and domain.
Consensus is used by doctors, researchers, students, journalists, policymakers, and anyone who needs to ground decisions in scientific evidence rather than opinion or anecdote. It removes the barrier of academic paywalls and jargon, making research accessible to non-specialists.
With a browser extension and API access, Consensus integrates scientific evidence directly into professional and research workflows.
