Perplexity
Conversational search engine that combines LLM and real-time web search with source citations.
What is Perplexity?
Perplexity is an AI search engine that stands out for its source-focused approach. With approximately 45 million monthly active users (more than doubling from 20 million the year before), it uses RAG to search the web in real-time, then generates conversational responses with precise source citations. Perplexity now offers multiple tiers—Sonar for standard search, Sonar Pro for deeper research, Sonar Reasoning Pro for complex analysis, and Sonar Deep Research for autonomous multi-step research tasks. It is particularly valued for source transparency and has become the go-to platform for research-intensive queries.
