Consensus
Academic search engine that runs deep literature reviews over peer-reviewed papers and shows where evidence agrees
Consensus is an AI research tool for searching and analyzing peer-reviewed literature. You ask a question in plain language, and it searches more than 250 million papers, including licensed full text from leading publishers, then summarizes the findings with citations.
Key features:
- Deep Search that builds a search strategy, expands key terms and explores the citation graph.
- Identification of conflicting arguments and drafted reports from the results.
- Filters for timeframe, population and study design written directly into the prompt.
- Medical mode limited to about 50,000 clinical guidelines and 8 million articles from top medical journals.
- Consensus Meter that shows how much the evidence agrees on yes-or-no questions.
Consensus runs in the browser and is used by students, researchers and clinicians, with more than 170 university libraries partnering to give their students and faculty access. Individuals can start searching for free from the website, and there are separate offerings for universities and organizations. The sources do not list plan prices.
