Consensus is an AI-powered academic search engine that uses language models to find and synthesize answers from peer-reviewed scientific research papers. When you ask a question, Consensus searches over 200 million papers and uses AI to extract relevant findings, show the scientific consensus on a topic, and provide yes/no/maybe meters based on actual research evidence — making it the most reliable way to get science-backed answers.
Key features include natural language search across 200M+ scientific papers, Consensus Meter that shows the balance of research evidence (for/against/neutral), AI-generated summaries synthesizing findings from multiple papers, Copilot feature that provides deep-dive analysis of topics, study snapshots that summarize individual paper methods and findings, citation export, and filters for study type, journal, sample size, and methodology. Consensus only returns peer-reviewed academic sources, ensuring reliability.
Consensus offers a free plan with limited searches and basic features. The Premium plan costs $8.99/month for unlimited AI summaries, Copilot access, enhanced filters, and bookmark collections. The Team plan provides collaborative features and shared workspaces at custom pricing. Consensus is invaluable for students writing research papers, journalists fact-checking claims, healthcare professionals seeking evidence, and anyone who wants science-backed answers rather than AI-generated opinions.
