What it does
Consensus is a research-search product that helps people find scholarly papers and synthesize answers from them. Its subscriptions include free use and paid Pro or team access, with different limits and features. An AI answer is an entry point, not the evidence itself: open the cited paper, check its methods and population, and see whether other studies disagree. Search coverage and relevance depend on the query and indexed literature. For consequential medical, legal, or policy questions, use Consensus to locate original studies, then verify them independently and avoid treating a generated summary as a systematic review.
Editorial notes
Consensus makes paper discovery faster. Its best use is source triage: follow citations, compare study quality, and keep conclusions proportionate to the underlying evidence. A polished synthesis can still omit important uncertainty or conflicting studies.
