Google gives you links. Perplexity gives you answers. It's an AI-powered answer engine that searches the real-time web, reads the results for you, and synthesizes a concise, cited response.
Ask about a complex topic, and it writes a mini-essay with footnotes linking to sources. Ask about current events, and it pulls data from news sites published minutes ago. It's the perfect research assistant because it doesn't hallucinate—it cites.
"Pro Search" asks clarifying questions to narrow down what you really want. New features allow it to generate pages, analyze uploaded PDFs, and visualize data. It is the first serious challenger to the search engine monopoly.
Free for basic search. Pro subscription unlocks Claude 3 and GPT-4 models at perplexity.ai.
