Full Overview
Consensus is a search engine for scientific literature. Instead of ranking web pages, it reads across more than 200 million research papers to answer a direct question — "does intermittent fasting work?" — and shows the supporting studies, a synthesised summary, and a "consensus meter" indicating how much the evidence agrees. It is used by students, clinicians, and journalists who need claims grounded in primary research rather than blog posts. A free tier covers a set number of premium AI actions per month.
