Consensus is an AI-powered search engine built specifically for academic research. Instead of returning general web pages like Google, it searches a database of peer-reviewed scientific papers and uses AI to extract and summarize findings directly from them.
Key features:
Natural language search — ask a question like "does creatine improve cognitive function?" instead of using keyword strings
Consensus Meter — shows at a glance whether the research on a topic leans yes, no, or is mixed, based on findings across multiple papers
AI-generated summaries — pulls key findings from each paper so you don't have to read the full study to get the gist
Citation-backed answers — claims are linked back to the specific papers they come from, reducing hallucination risk compared to general-purpose chatbots
Study quality filters — lets you filter by study type, sample size, and journal quality
