Consensus Deep Mode is doing something that took me days manually, in about fifteen minutes
The process it runs: initial survey of the field, concept identification, terminology clarification across different research communities, subgroup analysis, citation graph analysis. Then a detailed output with a summary, an introduction with references, a Consensus Meter showing the balance of evidence, and a methodology section.
The Ask Paper beta for chatting directly with the full text of a specific paper is the feature I want to test more. Being able to ask what was the specific limitation the authors acknowledged in the methodology without reading the whole paper is a research efficiency that sounds small and adds up across dozens of papers in a review.
The institution library linking for seamless access to full-text papers via university accounts is the academic researcher feature that changes whether this is a useful overview tool or a complete research workflow tool.
What search mode are you primarily using and what type of research question produces the most useful output?
