What Is Consensus AI? 📚 Fast & Credible Research (Obsidian + Zotero)

Hi Friends, my name is Callum aka wanderloots. In today's video, I walk through my new favourite academic research tool: Consensus.app. Consensus focuses on finding quality information first before providing you with any answers, making it perfect for quality learning & academic research. I also show you how I integrate Consensus into my own academic workflow with my reference manager (Zotero) and my note-taking system (Obsidian).

‪@ConsensusNLP‬ significantly speeds up your research by searching literally thousands of papers at once before providing you with the top 50 papers that align with your question.

Then, Consensus provides a series of snapshots that break down the information in those papers into easily digestible tables, meters, and summaries so that you can continue learning & researching without getting overwhelmed by information.

The Research Hub that lets you organize your research threads into folders AND upload your own papers. You can use Consensus AI to chat with your papers directly, significantly speeding up your ability to discover insights & validate or disprove claims.

Consensus focuses on discovering quality information FIRST before using AI to provide answers, reducing hallucinations and boosting the quality of the information it provides you. It also analyzes yes & no questions to determine the community consensus so you get an instant idea on where concepts fit with the grand scheme of the academic community.

You can then integrate your research with your reference manager, like Zotero, and your note-taking systems, like Obsidian, so your workflow is augmented, not disrupted. All of the sources you discover and organize in Consensus can be exported to your reference manager so you can easily cite them in your work as you go.

I hope you enjoy this new tool as much as I do! ✨

P.S. I greatly appreciate any feedback, please let me know what you think 😊
