OpenWhat it does for you
Perplexity is like a search engine that reads the web for you. Instead of ten blue links, you get a short, readable answer, with numbered sources so you can check where each fact came from.
It is great for quick research: comparing products, understanding news, or getting up to speed on a new topic. You can ask follow-up questions just like a conversation.
