I have been using Perplexity for a couple of months and enjoy the free service and power of using AI search. Here are a couple of excerpts from a WSJ article today (might be behind paywall):
"Perplexity, an artificial-intelligence startup aiming to challenge Google’s dominance in web search, is finalizing a new funding deal at around a $1 billion valuation, people familiar with the matter said, roughly doubling its valuation since its most recent financing a few months ago......
.....Perplexity’s search tool answers user queries with a detailed summary and links to where it pulled the information. Users are then able to ask follow-up questions. The company has seen an uptick in subscribers of its premium service, which charges $20 a month for a more powerful version of the search engine that uses GPT-4, OpenAI’s most advanced AI model"
Have you tried the free or paid version of Perplexity?
