Toksta's take

Consensus tackles the problem of information overload for researchers, effectively pulling insights from a staggering 200 million peer-reviewed papers with AI-powered search and instant summaries. The broad, data-driven scope provides industry-wide views, which is particularly useful for academics wanting a quick yet thorough grasp on complex topics or evidence-based answers. Its strength lies in identifying consistent trends across countless sources, giving academics and R&D teams strategic direction that a single source cannot.

However, the absence of retailer and some specialized lists means Consensus will never be fully exhaustive, and its reliance on accumulated reviews makes it slow to reflect the latest research. For organizations that need wide-angle context over real-time insights, Consensus is reliable but not infallible. It is a solid pick for research-heavy environments, provided you recognize its lag and occasional blind spots.
