Introducing Consensus: Your AI Companion for Educational Research

In the ever-evolving world of education, staying updated with the latest research and findings can be a daunting task. But fear not, for a new AI tool named Consensus is here to simplify your journey.

Consensus, developed by Consensus Inc., is an AI-powered platform that allows you to access research papers by typing in a question and receiving a selection of answers. The name Consensus is derived from the consensus meter at the top of the results page, which reflects the agreement among the results.

The results are laid out with a top-level initial layout for easy understanding, but can be explored further if needed. Each result includes a drop-down Study Snapshot for detailed information on the result. Tags such as RCT or Highly Cited are provided under each result, which can be hovered over for explanations.

One of the standout features of Consensus is the Consensus meter. This meter provides a percentage of yes, no, or possibly answers, offering a quick overview of the general consensus among the results. Users can filter results by year, journals, and more, making it easier to find the information they need.

Consensus also offers alerts for specific subjects or topics, ensuring you never miss out on the latest research in your area of interest. The platform allows users to save their searches, share results, or copy the link for future reference.

For those seeking a more in-depth analysis, the Synthesize option reads multiple papers and provides a single answer, while the Copilot offers AI assistance for answers and content generation (requires membership).

When it comes to citing sources, Consensus offers a selection of answers, each with a citation and additional details from the source paper. Users can select the style of referencing for citations (APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, BibTeX), making it easy to integrate the findings into your work.

Consensus is web-based and can be easily accessed from most devices with an internet connection. The platform is initially free to use, with limitations, and offers a Premium service at $8.99/month paid annually for additional features. Consensus Inc. also offers a free basic usage plan and subscription options for advanced features and higher usage caps.

In a classroom setting, Consensus can be a valuable tool. Tips for using Consensus in a classroom include setting assignments for students to research, cite, and quote from papers, and using the tool to find answers and teach its use.

With its user-friendly interface, natural language processing, and wealth of resources like the New Teacher Starter Kit and Best Tools for Teachers, Consensus is set to revolutionise the way we approach educational research. So why wait? Dive into the world of Consensus today and start exploring the latest research in your field!
