Consensus
Finds research papers and uses AI to explain what the studies say about your question.
What it is
Consensus is an AI search tool for academic research. Ask a question in ordinary language to find relevant papers, read summaries, and follow citations. Filters help narrow the results by publication date, study design, and other details that affect whether the findings apply to your situation.
Ways to use it
Ideas from real executive operations work. Take the ones that fit.
- Find studies on meeting fatigue before proposing changes to the leadership calendar.
- Check the research behind a claim about focus, interruptions, or multitasking.
- Compare findings on remote and hybrid work before drafting a policy discussion.
- Use study filters to separate workplace evidence from research on a different population.
- Save relevant papers into a reading list for a leadership briefing.
Our take
Useful when a workplace recommendation needs something firmer behind it than a popular article. Start with a specific question, such as whether shorter meetings affect fatigue, then use the original studies to support the recommendation and explain its limits.
