Consensus

AI-powered academic search

Consensus is an AI academic search engine that pulls answers from peer-reviewed literature for students, scientists and anyone doing research. Rather than returning a list of links, it finds and synthesizes answers from more than 200 million scientific papers and presents them with citations so each claim can be checked at the source.

The site frames it as a research OS: a place to find, organize and analyze science, with a claim that this happens ten times faster than working manually. Its interface shows controls labeled Sources, Corpus, Deep and Filter for narrowing what the search draws on. As a research tool it is aimed at people who want evidence-based answers rather than general web results.

No pricing information appears on the homepage captured here, so the pricing model is not stated by the site. Type a research question and check the cited papers behind the answer.
