Consensus

Today, we're announcing $30M in new funding to build the AI OS for Research. 2.5M researchers start their work with Consensus every month. Their work is the foundation that all progress is built upon. We could tell you our story. We'd rather they did👇

Her lab helped identify which species could become new reservoirs for SARS-CoV-2. 220M+ papers. Plain-language questions. Every answer tied back to the most relevant sources. The full story of how she works with Consensus↓ consensus.app/home/community…

Dr. Barbara Han's lab (@caryinstitute) uses AI to predict which animal will carry the next pandemic. The clue could be in a virology paper. Or a soil chemistry paper. Or a geology paper. She uses Consensus to find where those fields meet and make predictions that save lives.

🤯 The @ConsensusNLP plugin in @ChatGPTapp Work/Codex is absolutely phenomenal for research AND education!!! Used 2 more STRs (Saint Tibo @thsottiaux Resets) :)

Consensus is becoming an infrastructure layer for agentic biology, and we're glad to have our index / search powering serious work in the space. Read more agentic bio companies building on our APIs and MCP → @phylo_bio: consensus.app/home/community…

The Consensus connector gives your agent: → 220M+ papers, all of PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv → Full-text search across most paywalled articles, not just abstracts → Filters like study design, sample size, publication year → Best-in-class search relevance Full corpus, full-text, right results first.

Trying the new Claude Science app from @AnthropicAI ? Set up the @ConsensusNLP connector before you run anything. Just like humans, your bio agents should spend their cycles / tokens on needle-moving work, not on monotonous searching.

🎓 Choosing a graduate supervisor isn't just about finding someone with similar research interests. It's about finding someone whose mentoring style helps you do your best work. University of Toronto PhD researcher Alvina Lai shares her advice for future graduate students in this clip.

What happens when admiration becomes identity? University of Toronto PhD student Alvina Lai studies parasocial relationships: the one-sided attachments people form with streamers, influencers, politicians, and creators. Her research looks at how these relationships can influence political beliefs and contribute to polarization. In our newest Community Voices story, she shares how she uses Consensus to map the literature, find key papers, identify research gaps, and check claims while writing.

"You need money to fund that research. If you don’t get money to fund that research, you can't do your research." University of Toronto PhD student Alvina Lai shares one piece of advice she wishes she'd heard at the start of her PhD: learn to write grants early. We also sat down with Alvina to walk through her complete literature review workflow using Consensus, from exploring unfamiliar topics to synthesizing evidence across disciplines.

Have you ever looked up a study behind a viral health claim and discovered the evidence was much more nuanced than the headline suggested? This guide explores how to separate attention-grabbing claims from what the broader body of evidence actually shows.🔬📚 We're sharing the first few pages here, but you can read the full guide below: consensus.app/home/resources…

Every scientific breakthrough builds on the work that came before it. Researchers spend years contributing new knowledge so others can learn, build, and discover. That's what makes science powerful: it's a collective effort across generations. 🎥 Hear how members of our community think about knowledge, discovery, and the future of research.

Bar none, one of the most powerful stories I have ever heard from a @ConsensusNLP user. Incredible 💜
