Consensus

Consensus searches scientific research papers and synthesizes AI-powered summaries of what the evidence says about specific questions. Ask "does caffeine improve athletic performance?" and get a consensus score based on relevant study findings, with citations to the actual papers.

Researchers, medical professionals, students, and evidence-seeking journalists use Consensus to quickly understand the state of scientific evidence on a topic without reading through dozens of papers. The evidence-grounded approach is more reliable for scientific questions than general-purpose AI assistants that generate confident-sounding summaries without citing sources.

Coverage is strong for published, peer-reviewed research. Very recent papers, preprints, and niche fields with limited literature may return fewer results. Consensus summarizes what studies say — it doesn't evaluate methodology quality or distinguish between high-powered RCTs and small observational studies. Users making important decisions should verify findings with the original papers.
