A Research Assistant for All
I first engaged with AI when it was first released to the public a bit over a year ago, I felt the normal ambivalence that, for many of us, has come to accompany the introduction of most technologies: the harnessing of the labor and talent of collective humanity to the benefit of a few individuals who had the fortune of being able to invest in a project. The programmers and mathematicians who labored to learn, adapt, and apply the techniques of so many unnamed predecessors are themselves unnamed. But I use technology and still believe that it can have the power to liberate and bring equality. I also refuse to engage with the divine creating we love to do with tech investors. Thankfully, their egos and hubris are visible. What I find exciting is seeing what individuals can do with the technology when they are able to engage with it on their own terms. My suspicion is that Perplexity’s focus on research gives it more potential to liberate than those interactive AI programs that try to recreate human conversation. As long as there is a free version, and it remains useful, everyone will have access to their own research assistant with Perplexity.

AI extraordinary!
The most comprehensive AI platform I have ever worked with and super easy to advance research!
Excellent
This app does an excellent job at grouping modern versions of AI and completing it with search results. This app is by far more superior than ChatGPT with its current browsing capabilities. Being able to see the source right in the message changes the game completely. I know you can't control the other models, but for the free perplexity model it would excellent if you can toggle an option to have the chat bot only respond with sourced material. The subscription is a tad bit overpriced, but considering you get those models included it's nowhere near as bad as the market currently is with extreme saturation regarding paid services. It would also be incredibly wise to amp-up your customer service team or re-evaluate your terms of service because I can potentially see some legal challenges based on what I have read in these reviews

Aide fiable qui laisse de la latitude à l’humain
L’identification des sources de recherche est un facteur décisif et rassurant quand à l’usage d’une IA afin de faire nos recherches, rédactions et études
Waay better than Google search!!
I love how detailed and through the answers to any question I have are. And the follow up feature that shows related questions, is usually spot on with what I was thinking to ask next!
I’ll never go back to ANY other search engine, when I need real answers, I know where to go. Perplexity rocks!!

Poor experience
I’ve been unable to access my paid version for the past three days, whether I try social login or my email address. Additionally, support has been unavailable for the last seven days. While the service is great when it works, a few days ago, after performing just 3-7 searches in a day, my pro version was blocked, stating I had reached my limit and it would be available again in five days. This is unacceptable to me, as there is no clear explanation of fair usage or the number of tokens.

Assistant
I recently took a course on AI for accountants and have been surprised by perplexity and what it can do. This is based on ChatGPT but has easier to read output and analysis. You can simply give it instructions be take on the hat of HR specialist/Accountant/employment lawyer giving specialized output for the user. I would like to see how the Pro version can be a fact checker assistant for my own accounting practice.

Review of Perplexity AI
Perplexity AI has been very very useful and advantageous in creating Linux Bash scripts for me
Despite the fact that renewed iterations/improvements/modifications of a script sometimes results in the script completely failing or doing something else as well, by providing feedback, e.g. terminal output back to perplexity AI, it’s ability to review and analyse issues is imo, very fast and efficient at seeing multiple issues and/or potential problem scenarios and quickly updates the script to abate or remedy the issues
Perplexity Ai is also very adept at describing in point-to-point the changes/modifications it has made to the script in easy Bullet points

Free-falling into feedback loop disaster.
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
The AI, when it comes to certain questions, starts to sound exactly like the free version of ChatGPT and incorrectly states that it has a knowledge cutoff of October 2023 way more frequently in the past couple of weeks. I’ve been a daily user for about a year now and have seen the quality of the app deteriorate. I have to constantly point out bad and biased sources that completely change the answer to the question at hand and am just facing a lot more inconsistent answers, as well as failure to do simple mathematical questions when it comes to business-centered calculations. Nothing advanced or physics-related. Also, the pro searches recently have stopped completing all the steps in the pro search, and when I ask for corrections and remind it to stay on topic, I get lengthy apologies instead of a corrected answer as directed. It also has no issue presenting false information and repeating wrong information from the earlier conversation and use it as evidence to back itself up leaving it in a feedback loop way more frequently. Did their competitors sabotage the app?
