Perplexity
A search tool that answers a question in a few paragraphs and shows the sources it used underneath.
Nobody has checked this listing against the vendor on a given date. What it says about the tool is believed accurate and describes what the tool is sold to do, but no price, feature or policy below has been confirmed by an editor. Anything marked not checked is exactly that. What we have and have not checked.
What it is good at
Stands out for
- Sources are on the page by default, rather than something you have to ask for.
- Good at follow-up questions without losing the thread.
Where it falls down
- A cited source is not a read source. It sometimes cites a page that does not support the sentence.
- Not the tool for working with your own private documents.
Jobs it is a candidate for
- Look into something properly before I commitBuilt for this
Built for exactly this: ask a question, get an answer with its sources listed.
- Read this long thing for me and tell me what mattersDoes this well
Will summarise a page or a document, though it is built around searching rather than reading yours.
