AI overview

Updated

Consensus operates an AI-powered search engine for scientific and academic research. Users ask a plain-language question and the product retrieves and summarizes findings from a corpus of over 200 million peer-reviewed papers, attaching an evidence-agreement score to each claim rather than returning a keyword-matched link list. It is sold as an ad-free subscription product aimed at replacing hours of literature review with minutes. The company was co-founded by Eric Olson and Christian Salem and is based in Boston.

What sets it apart

Draws exclusively from peer-reviewed literature rather than the open web, and surfaces the degree of agreement across studies on a claim instead of a single generated answer - an explicitly ad-free, subscription-funded alternative to ad-based search.
