What is Consensus AI?
Consensus AI is an advanced AI-powered academic search engine designed to extract evidence directly from peer-reviewed scientific studies. Unlike standard language models that risk hallucination, Consensus queries an index of over 200 million research papers indexed directly from Semantic Scholar and top journal repositories.
When you ask a research question (such as "Does zinc supplementation reduce the duration of common colds?"), Consensus parses relevant papers, synthesizes key findings, and provides a quantitative "Consensus Meter" showing the percentage of studies that support, refute, or show mixed results.
