Try "consensus" to explore the scientific literature using AI

Consensus is a literature search tool based on advanced language models (LLMs) that allows for the rapid analysis of scientific articles and the extraction of key findings. Unlike general-purpose generative AI, it directly queries scientific publications before synthesizing the results.

 

It was designed to meet the needs of students and researchers seeking quick and reliable answers from academic literature. It allows users to explore the scientific literature on a given topic and can also be used as a starting point for a literature review.
