What is Perplexity AI?

Perplexity AI is a search engine powered by artificial intelligence. It is designed to be an alternative to traditional search engines like Google, offering a more conversational and comprehensive search experience. Unlike traditional search engines that return a list of links, Perplexity AI provides a direct answer to your query, pulling information from multiple sources and summarizing them in a concise and easy-to-understand manner.

How is Perplexity AI different from traditional search engines?

Perplexity AI differs from traditional search engines in several ways:

• Direct answers: Instead of a list of links, Perplexity AI gives you a direct answer to your query, synthesized from various sources.
• Source citations: Each part of the answer is cited with the specific source it came from, making it easy to verify information and explore further.
• Interactive follow-ups: Perplexity AI allows you to ask follow-up questions to refine your search and delve deeper into specific aspects of the topic.
• Focus modes: You can narrow down your search by selecting a specific focus mode, like academic publications, YouTube, Reddit, or Wolfram Alpha, for more targeted results.
