Perplexity for Research

Perplexity is an AI search engine that answers your questions with citations to its sources. Rather than returning a list of links like traditional search engines, it synthesises information from across the web and tells you where it found each piece of information. This makes it useful for research tasks where you need both answers and evidence. The tool works best for factual queries, comparisons, and questions that require current information. You can ask follow-up questions to refine your search, similar to having a conversation. The freemium model means you can start using it immediately, though paid tiers offer more frequent queries and advanced features.
