New AI Search Engine Perplexity Combines Chatbot and Verified Information
-
Perplexity AI combines search engine capabilities with AI models like GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 to provide updated, cited information.
-
It works like a chatbot where you can refine questions, but also shows images, videos, and citations to verify information.
-
The "Focus" features allow searching specific parts of the web like academic papers or Reddit.
-
The $20/month Pro version gives access to better AI models like GPT-4 and Claude Opus.
-
Perplexity provides a good jumping off point for research compared to ChatGPT, but isn't as strong at generative writing.
