## About Consensus

Consensus is an AI-powered search engine built specifically for scientific research, letting users ask a plain-language question and receive answers backed directly by findings from published, peer-reviewed papers, rather than the broader, less rigorously sourced results a general web search engine would return for the same question. When a user searches a question like whether a specific supplement has been shown to improve a health outcome, Consensus surfaces relevant studies and extracts their key findings, showing whether the body of research generally supports, contradicts, or shows mixed results on the question, which gives users a much faster sense of scientific consensus than manually reading through and synthesizing multiple individual papers themselves. Its "Consensus Meter" feature aggregates findings across multiple relevant papers on a given question into a simple visual indicator of overall research agreement, which is particularly useful for topics where individual studies sometimes reach conflicting conclusions and a user needs a sense of the overall weight of evidence rather than a single cherry-picked result. Every claim surfaced by Consensus links directly back to its source paper, letting users verify a finding against the original research rather than trusting a generated summary without a path to the underlying source. Consensus is aimed at students, researchers, journalists, and professionals who want to ground decisions and arguments in actual published science without needing to be trained researchers themselves to navigate academic databases effectively.
