About Consensus
Consensus is an AI academic search engine that searches over 200 million peer-reviewed scientific papers to help researchers, students, and faculty find, understand, and synthesize literature up to 10x faster. Unlike general chatbots, Consensus only applies AI after retrieving real citations, preventing hallucinated sources entirely. Key features include the Consensus Meter, a visual gauge of research agreement or disagreement, Deep Search for automated multi-step literature reviews, and Ask Paper for deep individual paper analysis. Used by 5 million+ users at 10,000+ universities, with publisher partnerships including Wiley, T&F, Sage, and APA.
