Perplexity AI
Perplexity AI is an AI-powered search engine and answer engine that processes user queries and synthesizes responses based on live web content. Founded in August 2022, it functions as a hybrid between a chatbot and a traditional search engine, providing direct answers to questions with inline citations that point to the sources used.
Key features of Perplexity AI include:
- AI-Powered Search: It utilizes large language models (LLMs) and natural language processing to understand queries and deliver contextual, human-like responses.
- Verifiable Sources: A core component of its service is providing responses that include links to the original sources, allowing users to verify the information.
- Accessibility: It offers a free public version, as well as a paid "Pro" subscription that provides access to more advanced language models and additional features.
