consensus ai

Overview
Consensus is an AI-powered academic search engine specifically designed for scientific research that searches through a vast database of over 200 million peer-reviewed research papers, providing evidence-based answers and detailed insights. Unlike general-purpose chatbots like ChatGPT or Google, Consensus only searches through peer-reviewed scientific research articles to find the most credible insights, never blogs, news sites, or general-knowledge pages. It's your research OS for finding, organizing, and analyzing science 10x faster, turning days of literature review into a few minutes. Consensus features AI-powered tools like Pro Analysis (summarizes key findings from top papers with high-level synthesis and citations), Ask Paper (chat directly with full-text PDF papers about methodology, findings, and more), Consensus Meter (visually shows how much literature agrees or disagrees on yes-or-no research questions), Consensus Copilot (virtual research assistant that drafts literature reviews, creates bulleted lists, explains complex concepts), and Advanced Search Filters (AI-powered filters to refine results by sample size, study design, methodology, open access, human/animal studies). The platform draws on 250M+ research papers, including licensed full-text content from leading publishers, and narrows results to the highest-quality medical sources (50K clinical guidelines, 8M articles from top 1,000 medical journals). It supports 31 language options for translation and exports paper details in CSV or RIS formats.
