Perplexity

About

Perplexity is an AI-powered answer engine built around web research. Instead of returning only a list of links, it synthesises a response and shows the sources used, making it useful for fast exploration and follow-up questions. Treat its answers as a research starting point and open the cited primary sources for consequential decisions. Key features • Search the web in natural language and receive a concise answer with source citations. • Ask follow-up questions to narrow a topic, compare options, or request a different format. • Explore research topics, product information, news context, and explainers from one interface. • Save or share research outputs when those features are available in the selected plan. Pricing Perplexity offers free search access and paid options with expanded model and research capabilities. Check the official plan details for current limits. Use cases • Build a sourced starting brief before deeper research. • Compare products, vendors, approaches, or technical concepts. • Find recent context for a meeting, article, or market question. • Turn an exploratory question into a list of sources to verify.
