Consensus is on a mission to democratize expert knowledge. It does that through its AI-powered search engine to deliver evidence-based answers and find insights in research papers.

You can, for instance, ask Consensus questions such as “Does creatine help build muscle?,” “Can mindfulness improve sleep?”, and “Do direct cash transfers reduce poverty?”.

Beyond researchers, Consensus could also help students find supporting evidence for your paper, clinicians – find answers to patients’ questions; analysts – get expert quotes for presentations; content creators – source peer-reviewed insights for your blog; and health and fitness enthusiasts – check the viability of supplements and routines.

All being said, we are not surprised to learn that the tool has more than half a million users (September 2023) — including researchers, students, doctors, professionals, and evidence-conscious consumers.

Among them are researchers from the world’s top institutions, such as Merck, NASA, NIH, Princeton University, UCLA, University of Michigan, Stanford, Pfizer, MIT, Harvard, Berkeley, IEEE, University of Virginia, Johnson & Johnson, McKinsey & Company, and others.
