What is Consensus?
Consensus is an AI search engine for academic research. It searches over 200 million academic papers and uses language models to help find, understand, and synthesize peer-reviewed literature.
For every query, Consensus first retrieves the most relevant academic papers. Then, our AI analyzes the top results and generates a clear, cohesive synthesis of the findings. Every response includes citations, so you can trace each insight back to the original source.
Consensus is built to find and review literature more efficiently, while still ensuring proper source attribution. We are used today by over 5 million students, researchers and faculty members from over 10,000 different universities.
