Consensus
Overview
AI research engine that answers questions with evidence from peer-reviewed scientific papers and citations.
Best For Professions:
Consensus is a search engine for scientific literature that uses AI to synthesize findings from published research. Students, clinicians, and analysts use it to get evidence-backed answers instead of generic web summaries.

What the evidence says about Consensus
Consensus is a hosted academic search and research platform with agentic research features, not a general-purpose autonomous agent. It searches a large peer-reviewed-paper index, ranks results for relevance and quality, and grounds AI summaries and reviews in cited studies.

Verified capabilities
- Hybrid academic-paper search
Consensus searches more than 220 million papers with semantic and keyword retrieval, then reranks results using relevance, recency, citations, and journal-quality signals.[1]
- Research Agent and cited synthesis
The Research Agent plans multi-step searches and applies academic filters, while Pro messages synthesize findings from retrieved papers with citations.[1]
- Paper analysis and literature organization
Users can inspect study details, chat with full text, visualize agreement with Consensus Meter, and organize papers in a personal library.[1], [3]
Where it fits best
Buying and deployment notes
Consensus has a free tier. Pro is $20 per month or $144 per year, Deep is $65 per month or $540 per year, and Teams and Enterprise use organization-specific pricing.[2]
Platforms: Consensus web application[1], [2]
Deployment: Consensus-hosted individual service, Consensus-hosted Teams or Enterprise service[1], [2]
Important considerations
- Consensus is intentionally scoped to its scientific-paper database rather than the general web, so it is not the right source for questions whose evidence primarily lives outside academic literature.[1]
- Advanced Pro messages, Deep reviews, and Study Snapshots are capped by plan; the free tier includes only limited monthly allowances for these features.[2]
