Who it's for

  • Anyone who wants to quickly see how research leans on questions like "Is coffee bad for sleep?" as a percentage
  • College students who need to cite a few supporting papers in reports. You can search without signing up
  • Teachers and practitioners who want to check research trends in fields with conflicting claims, such as health, education, and psychology

Drawbacks

  • It focuses on English papers, so Korean papers rarely appear, and the interface is in English.
  • The free plan has monthly limits on AI summary and analysis features.
  • The "consensus ratio" only reflects the searched papers, not research quality. You must read the original papers before drawing conclusions.

Getting started

  1. Type your question in the search bar on the official site as an English sentence. Example: "Does screen time affect children's sleep?"
  2. Check the "Consensus Meter" at the top of the results to see the ratio of Yes / No / Possibly.
  3. Read the summary on each paper card and copy citation formats for the papers you need.
  4. Signing up saves your search history and unlocks monthly AI summary credits.
  5. You can ask in Korean, but it narrows down results, so translate core keywords into English when searching.
