📖 What is Consensus?
Consensus is an AI academic search engine that extracts and synthesizes findings directly from peer-reviewed scientific research papers. It indexes over 200 million papers from Semantic Scholar, providing an aggregated 'Consensus Meter' indicating scientific agreement.
💡 Why It Matters
Consensus eliminates bias in research by pulling verified answers strictly from peer-reviewed journal papers rather than unverified blog posts or marketing copy.
🎯 Workplace Use Cases
- Verifying medical or health claims against published clinical trials
- Extracting scientific evidence for policy papers and executive strategy briefs
- Analyzing consensus levels across conflicting academic literature studies
- Drafting literature review summaries with inline DOI citations
🚀 How to Use It
Visit consensus.app, enter a research question (e.g., 'Does microdosing caffeine improve cognitive retention?'), and view the Consensus Meter synthesis and paper summaries.
✨ Key Features
- Indexes 200 million+ peer-reviewed academic papers via Semantic Scholar
- Consensus Meter indicating percentage agreement among scientific studies
- Copilot agent for writing synthesized literature reviews
