Perplexity is an AI answer engine. You ask a question in plain language and it searches the web, then writes a summary with links to the sources it used. That makes it easier to check where a claim came from than with a chat assistant that gives no references.
It works well for quick research, comparing options and following up with related questions. It is available on the web and in mobile apps, and it has a free tier alongside paid plans with extra features.
