A: Great question—Consensus is a solid tool for pulling fast summaries from academic papers. Wonders goes deeper: we guide you through the full research process—searching across multiple sources, organizing findings in visual boards, synthesizing with AI, and exporting polished outputs. It’s built for when you need more than a quick answer—when you’re doing actual research work, not just browsing conclusions given by typical chat- or summarization- based systems.

That said, Wonders is also really fast. You can conduct a robust lit-rev in just 5-minutes, while having much more control over the system than with Consensus.
