**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.
