FAQs
Q1: Does consensus AI use ChatGPT?
Consensus is a sort of AI-based version of Google Scholar. It indexes more than 200 million academic papers and has language models that assist in locating, comprehending as well as synthesizing peer-reviewed articles. Consensus is not a general-purpose chatbot, like ChatGPT.
