About Consensus

What Is Consensus?

Consensus is an AI-powered academic search engine built to help you explore, understand, and analyze scientific research with ease. Instead of wading through endless papers, Consensus gives you fast access to the most relevant studies and insights — all grounded in peer-reviewed science.

Search Smarter, Not Harder

Designed for researchers, students, healthcare professionals, and knowledge seekers, Consensus transforms how you interact with scientific literature. It brings clarity and direction to your questions by extracting key findings and summarizing them using AI trained specifically on academic content.

How Consensus Works

AI That Knows the Science

Consensus combines proprietary large language models with top-tier engines like OpenAI to read, understand, and summarize academic papers. The platform delivers results directly linked to cited sources, so you can verify everything you read.

Access 200M+ Peer-Reviewed Papers

With coverage across medicine, psychology, technology, social sciences, and more, Consensus searches an expansive database of trusted literature — making it easier than ever to find evidence-based answers.

Research Made Digestible

From single-question searches to full systematic reviews, Consensus provides tools like the Consensus Meter and Pro Analysis to help you quickly see the direction of scientific opinion and access study-level summaries.
