About
Consensus is an AI-powered search engine that searches a corpus of scientific papers and surfaces whether the evidence supports, disputes or is mixed on a given question. Each result shows which studies agree, disagree or offer qualified findings, giving users a quick read of the empirical landscape. An AI-generated consensus meter summarises the overall direction of the evidence. It is designed for researchers, students and professionals who need evidence-based answers. The free tier limits monthly searches; paid plans remove limits and add AI summaries.
