What it is

Perplexity is built around a different premise from a chatbot: you ask a question, it searches the web, and it answers with inline citations you can click through. That citation trail is the whole point — it turns the output from something you have to trust into something you can verify.

Key features

Best for

Research, fact-checking and any question where you need to see where the answer came from.

Limitations

Weaker than dedicated assistants at long-form writing and code, since it is optimised for retrieval rather than generation.

Pricing

Free tier with daily limits; paid plan raises limits and unlocks stronger models.

Alternatives

If this is not the right fit, these are the closest options.
