Consensus: Searching Scientific Research with AI

Consensus is a search engine that uses AI to find answers in scientific research. Instead of searching the "general web," it only looks at peer-reviewed papers.

The Truth Engine

If you ask a question like "Does caffeine improve athletic performance?", Consensus will scan thousands of papers and give you a "Consensus Meter" showing the percentage of studies that agree.

Key Features

• Summary of Results: It provides a 1-sentence summary of the "bottom line" from the top 10 papers.
• Academic Tone: The AI extracts data directly from the papers, reducing the risk of hallucinations.
• Synthesis: It can write a short literature review based on the search results.

Why It Matters

It’s an essential tool for students, health professionals, and journalists who need to cite actual evidence rather than blog posts.
