The AI search engine for scientific research. Answers backed by peer-reviewed papers.
Consensus is a search engine that only indexes peer-reviewed scientific papers. Ask 'Does creatine improve memory?' and it synthesizes an answer from 50+ studies, showing the consensus (yes, in specific populations) and citing every paper. The Pro tier adds GPT-4 synthesis, study-level detail, and the 'Consensus Meter' that visualizes the strength of scientific agreement on any claim. Used by academics, journalists, and evidence-based professionals.
Who it's for: Researchers, academics, journalists, medical professionals, and anyone who needs scientifically-backed answers. Especially valuable for health, nutrition, and psychology questions where misinformation is rampant.
Index is restricted to papers from journals with editorial review. No blog posts, no Medium articles, no SEO content farms. Just science.
Visual representation of how strongly the literature agrees. 'Strong consensus for,' 'mixed evidence,' 'no consensus.' Instant at-a-glance credibility check.
Pro tier synthesizes findings across studies into readable answers with citations. The 'TLDR for 50 papers' feature.
Filter by sample size, study type (RCT, meta-analysis, observational), and population. Critical for evaluating evidence strength.
If you do any evidence-based work — research, medicine, journalism, policy — Consensus is essential. It's not a Perplexity replacement, it's a complement. Use Perplexity for general research, Consensus for science-grounded answers.
