infoAbout Consensus
Consensus is an AI-powered academic search engine that helps researchers, students, and clinicians find, analyze, and synthesize peer-reviewed scientific literature. It searches across more than 250 million research papers, including licensed full-text content from publishers, and uses AI to extract insights, compare findings, and summarize agreement across studies. The platform offers several specialized features: Deep Search automates comprehensive literature reviews by expanding search terms, mapping citation networks, and identifying conflicting arguments; Medical Mode filters results to roughly 50,000 clinical guidelines and 8 million articles from top medical journals; natural language filters let users specify timeframes, study designs, and populations directly in queries; and the Consensus Meter visualizes how much research agrees or disagrees on yes-or-no questions. Users can also generate comparison tables and quick summaries of complex topics. The company was founded in 2021 and is based in San Francisco. It reports that over 170 university libraries partner with the platform and that it has served more than 10 million researchers to date. Consensus is accessible via web browser.
