About Consensus
Consensus is a search engine that summarizes peer-reviewed papers into yes/no/mixed answers with citations.
It searches specifically across peer-reviewed scientific literature rather than the open web, classifies paper findings as yes, no, or mixed, and provides citations to the underlying sources for each answer. It runs in a web browser with a free tier alongside paid plans.
It fits researchers and anyone wanting answers grounded in academic sources. It's not the right tool if you need general web content — coverage is restricted to peer-reviewed papers and excludes non-academic material — or if you want a native app or IDE extension, since none is offered. The free tier also caps the number of searches per month.
Among AI writing and content tools, Consensus is narrow by design: an academic-literature answer engine rather than a general-purpose assistant.
