Where Consensus is stronger

  • It covers every field of science, so it answers questions far outside aging.
  • It runs literature reviews at volume: up to 200 Deep reviews a month on its top plan, against 3 Ultradeep reviews a week on Plus.
  • It is further along in AI assistants: it reports 7 million uses of its MCP server and offers a search API.
  • It sells to institutions, with single sign-on, library integration, teams of up to 200 seats, and discounts for students and US clinicians.

Where AgingResearch.News is different

  • It works without a question: it reads each new aging paper as it appears and judges what the paper's own work shows about aging, so a senolytic trial filed under kidney disease still reaches you.
  • The papers worth reading become short stories in plain words, each checked against its paper and naming its main limit.
  • Each drug, gene and process has a page that shows where its evidence stands: which species, whether independent labs found the same, what points the other way, which trials posted no results, and who paid.
  • Follows email you when a new paper lands on a drug, gene, author or search, and the Monday digest is written as an issue to read.
  • Reading needs no account.
