Review Perplexity?

Perplexity earns strong praise for fast, sourced answers and a clean, mobile-friendly experience that streamlines research and everyday queries. Makers emphasize reliable APIs and real-time search: creators of

Wispr Flow

say voice-triggered “ask perplexity” boosts user ease; makers of

Sleepytales

use its API for text generation; makers of

Atlantix

credit it for speeding content development. Users highlight accurate citations, minimal hallucinations, and fewer ads than traditional search, though some note UI quirks, occasional citation issues, and ads diminishing appeal. Overall, a trusted, efficient research companion.

Almost entirely replaced normal web search. It's excellent for deep research on all sorts of topics.

What needs improvement

hallucinations (3)

Sometimes seems like it is leaving out citations, and other times the AI response has things that are not present in the sources

vs Alternatives

Best AI for citing sources, giving you confidence in the answers

Does it handle long, multi-part questions effectively?

Often no, it seems to ignore previous prompts and responses unless you explicitly reference them

At the moment, this is my favourite AI tool. As someone who works at an AI company, I've learned to see through a lot of the empty hype behind many so-called AI tools. Perplexity isn't one of them. With its ability to provide sources to its answer, this has been steadily replacing Google as my main method of information search. Since it's AI, you can ask pretty open-ended questions and get decent answers. I've only seen it hallucinate a few times, and even then, it's on you to double-check the veracity of its answers with the sources it provides. It's a perfect tool in my eyes and it's only going to get better.

Perplexity is like Google, ChatGPT, and a research assistant all rolled into one. I’ve been using it daily, and it’s completely changed how I search for information. Instead of a wall of links, it gives clear, sourced answers in seconds – and actually cites where the info comes from (huge win). It’s fast, accurate, and feels more conversational than traditional search engines. Whether I’m researching a new topic, brainstorming content, or just curious about something random, Perplexity gets me there faster. Bonus points for how clean and minimal the UI is. Still early days, but this is 100% staying in my daily workflow.
