What is Consensus?

When you ask a serious question online—about health, science, or society—do you trust the answers you get from blogs and forums? Finding what the actual scientific research says can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack of misinformation. What if you could bypass the noise and get answers directly from the source?

Welcome back to Webrarian! In this 7-minute episode, we explore the AI-powered search engine that's changing how we find evidence: Consensus.

Learn how Consensus works as an "answer engine" for science. We'll show you how you can ask a question in plain language and get back direct findings and conclusions extracted from millions of peer-reviewed papers. Discover its unique features, like the "Consensus Meter" that synthesizes results, and "Study Snapshots" that let you see the quality of the evidence at a glance.

Join us to see how this tool can save you hours of searching, deliver credible, evidence-based answers in seconds, and make scientific knowledge accessible to everyone—from students to curious professionals. If you're tired of opinions and want data, you won't want to miss this.
