The Search Engine Evolved

Perplexity isn't trying to be a chatbot friend; it's trying to be the ultimate answer engine. It succeeds. Instead of giving you ten blue links, it reads the links for you and synthesizes a direct answer with footnotes.

Pro Search

This feature is impressive. If you ask a vague question, Perplexity will ask clarifying questions back to narrow down exactly what you're looking for. It feels like working with a research assistant.

Model Flexibility

One of the best features of Pro is the ability to choose your underlying model. Want the reasoning of Claude 3 Opus? Or the versatility of GPT-4o? You can switch between them on the fly within the Perplexity interface.

Common Questions

Does it hallucinate?

Less than other models because it grounds its answers in search results, but it can still misinterpret sources.

Is it free?

There is a generous free tier, but Pro gives you access to the more powerful models and unlimited deeper searches.
