Perplexity

What Is Perplexity
‍Perplexity is an AI-driven search and research platform that gives users direct, conversational answers to questions by drawing from up-to-date web sources. Unlike traditional search engines that present a list of links, Perplexity synthesizes information into readable responses, supported by citations so you can verify the facts. It’s designed for anyone needing fast, reliable insight, whether you’re doing research, fact-checking or simply curious.

Core Capabilities
The platform supports natural language queries and delivers concise, context-aware answers with inline citations so you can trace the information back to its source. It integrates multiple large-language-model back ends and real-time web retrieval to keep answers relevant, while enabling follow-up questions and conversational flow. For advanced users, features include uploading documents or images for analysis and choosing between model types and research modes. With its clear-citations, up-to-date data and conversational interface, Perplexity bridges the gap between search and knowledge assistants.
