Perplexity AI

Perplexity AI is an AI-powered search engine that answers questions with inline citations from real sources. Unlike traditional search engines that return links, Perplexity synthesizes information and shows you exactly where it came from.

Search with Sources

Every answer Perplexity provides includes numbered citations linking to the original sources. This makes it useful for research, fact-checking, and learning about topics where accuracy matters.

What to Know

The 5 Pro searches per day limit is the main restriction. Basic searches use a faster but less capable model. For research-heavy work, the $20/month Pro plan provides unlimited Pro searches and access to multiple AI models.
