Our review

Consensus is an AI academic search engine that pulls research findings straight from papers with supporting evidence, clear citations and a consensus meter — handy for quickly gauging where the literature stands on a question.

It focuses on English-language papers, is limited in depth, and its results need checking. But if you want to ask a question and see what the research says with paper-level evidence attached, Consensus has a very clear purpose.
