Consensus - AI Scientific Search Engine
Consensus cerca nella letteratura scientifica e usa l’IA per riassumere, confrontare e citare articoli di ricerca.
In inglese
Consensus is an AI academic search engine and research workspace. It searches peer-reviewed literature, ranks relevant papers, summarizes findings, compares studies, extracts study details, and provides citations.
Researchers, clinicians, students, educators, and professionals use it for literature reviews, evidence checks, and research discovery. It does not replace reading or evaluating the underlying papers. Paid plans and usage charges apply for expanded features and API calls.
