Company Overview:

Scientific research contains the most valuable knowledge humans have ever created. Yet, there’s no easy way to search and consume it.

This is the problem the Consensus team is obsessed with solving. Our mission is to democratize access to the world’s best knowledge.

Today, Consensus is an AI-powered academic search engine. We use the power of large language models to find, analyze, and synthesize insights in scientific research papers. We serve scientific researchers, students (high schoolers to PhDs), doctors & clinicians, industry R&D teams and the science-curious.

Content backed by and derived from scientific evidence and research has exploded in popularity recently. This gives Consensus a truly unique viral content opportunity - we can use information from our product to create differentiated and valuable content.
