Perplexity Overview

What is Perplexity?

Perplexity is the fastest way to get information. It's a tool that empowers everyone in the world to learn anything in their own way, using their own language or at their own level. When you ask a question, we take all the information available, compress it, and build a bridge between you and the information. If you want to learn about nuclear fission and you have a PhD in math, it can be explained. If you want to learn about nuclear fission and you are in middle school, it can be explained. Perplexity is a tool that you use, not an AI you talk to. We don't anthropomorphize the technology but instead give it to you to wield. Imagine having instant access to the world's knowledge in your pocket. Something that everyone should be able to use and the discerning should appreciate.

What do you like best about Perplexity?

Perplexity has become an indispensable tool in my daily workflow. It saves me countless hours each week.

Better than paying for just ChatGPT, which comes with this subscription, and more thorough than Gemini.

Using it for research is fast and accurate information, especially for things like drafting emails and researching for presentations.

Its versatility across tasks and commitment to security and privacy make it a powerful ally, allowing me to focus on strategic, value-adding activities.

It's awesome to choose my LLM model so I can switch for the best fit (like OpenAI vs Anthropic) without changing tools or workflows, so I always get the best results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Perplexity?

It's fantastic for finding the information and validating. At times I wish I could make a Thread more collaborative with Notes or Comments that a teammate can chime in on, or see.

I'd love the ability to also switch LLM per thread Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Perplexity solving and how is that benefiting you?

Reasearch and idea generation are the two main problems Perplexity solves for me today. The ability to quickly understand a topic with cited sources, and to help me generate new content or ideas has been a game changer.

I can't stress enough how helpful the ability to change between LLM models has been, so I get the flexibility to use the best tools for the job, without switching between services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Perplexity?

The simple question format makes prompt building incredibly simple, but it is the multi-layered responses where the power lies.

A brief question such as "What makes the best beef pie?" brings up a selection of highly-rated recipes, cooking tips, and advice on which ingredients are best.

So, rather than googling each factor, all the information (and some follow-up questions) is presented on one page.

In addition, the search is saved to your profile, so you can revisit the information at any time.

It is easy to use and, by far, one of my favourite AI tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Perplexity?

Unfortunately, much as I love this app, it is easy to forget. I still default to Google or head to other information-gathering tools by default (perhaps that's an age/habit thing).

I have Perplexity on my phone's home screen and still forget about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Perplexity solving and how is that benefiting you?

Perplexity is a quick, multi-faceted search tool with additional resources and references, meaning that information can be verified and explored on a deeper level.

It saves time, in that one question presents multiple streams of relevant information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Perplexity?

I was able to search for specific topics with sources. Instead of throwing random information, Perplexity shows where the information is taken, from its source, and I'm able to verify if the source is from a reliable website. While searching for writing content or searching about certain research topics finding sources is almost important and Perplexity does it better. It's easy to use on PC and Mobile and its UI is very user friendly. Perplexity can be used and relied up on everyday for extensive search and writing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Perplexity?

There is nothing much to dislike, however, I would encourage them to add research papers as sources as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Perplexity solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use it for multiple uses from research to technical writing, blogs, and retrieving information. It benefits greatly to check the source website related to my search. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
