# Consensus

> Consensus is a research tool built for one job: answering questions from the scientific literature. Ask it something and it draws on a corpus of more than 200 million peer-reviewed papers, returning evidence-based summaries rather than opinions scraped from the open web. That focus makes it a strong starting point whenever you need claims backed by actual studies, whether you are checking a health question or grounding an argument. It has earned solid marks for accuracy, around 4.3 out of 5 in comparisons of AI research assistants. It is narrower than a general search engine by design, and it works best paired with tools that handle broader web discovery or your own documents. For evidence-first research, though, it is a genuinely useful first stop.
