The Daily Prompt

Superintelligence, delivered daily

Research

Consensus

An AI search engine for peer-reviewed research. It writes answers drawn from papers and shows how much the studies agree on yes/no questions.

Our verdict

Good for a quick read on the evidence behind a claim, though an agreement score can flatten nuance, so read the key studies before you rely on it.

Use it for

  • Check what studies say
  • Find peer-reviewed sources
  • Answer yes/no science questions
  • Export citations

Other research tools

  • Elicit

    Strong for structured literature reviews, but the free tier is limited and the paid plans cost more than most consumer research tools.

    FreemiumBest for researchers doing literature or systematic reviews

  • Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM)

    Excellent when the answers should come only from sources you supply, but it is less useful for open-ended web research and higher limits require a Google AI subscription.

    FreemiumBest for making sense of a pile of your own documents

  • Perplexity

    The quickest way to get a sourced answer from the open web, but you still need to click through, since a citation does not guarantee the source says what the summary claims.

    FreemiumBest for fast, cited answers to everyday research questions
