Perplexity AI can be described as a hybrid "answer machine" that combines traditional search engine logic with artificial intelligence.
Key Features
Citing Sources: Perplexity's biggest difference is that it includes a bibliography (list of sources) for every piece of information it provides. This makes it easier to verify the accuracy of the information.
Up-to-date Information Flow: Instead of static data sets, it actively scans the internet to provide the most current news and information.
Diverse AI Models: The application offers the possibility to use models from giants such as OpenAI (GPT-4), Anthropic (Claude), and Meta (Llama) together (some advanced models may require a Pro membership).
Voice Search and Follow-up Questions: You can ask questions by typing or speaking, and continue the conversation with "follow-up questions" to deepen the discussion on a topic.
Library and Explore: You can save your searches or browse interesting discoveries shared by the community.
