What Is Perplexity? Here’s Everything You Need to Know About This AI Chatbot

Perplexity can either be accessed as a search engine or as an AI chatbot. This versatile tool can be used in various ways, from professional to creative applications. In late April 2025, Perplexity AI announced that it was partnering with Motorola to bring its artificial intelligence (AI)-powered search engine to the smartphone industry.

Beyond chat and search

ChatGPT’s standard responses do not include citations unless browsing mode or plugins are enabled. The availability of a no-cost option has been key to building a loyal base before upselling advanced features through the Pro plan. Denis is an AI researcher with expertise in reinforcement learning, while Andy, co-founder of Databricks, and Johnny bring deep engineering and infrastructure experience.

  • Perplexity AI has already made waves as part of the vanguard of AI-powered search, and its trajectory suggests it could significantly influence the future of how we find information.
  • According to Forbes, Perplexity published a story largely copied from a proprietary Forbes article without mentioning or prominently citing Forbes.
  • ​Users on Android can download the Perplexity app from the Google Play Store.
  • We take you through what exactly Perplexity is, how it works, what sets it apart from ChatGPT and other gen AI tools — and about some of the legal battles it’s facing.
  • Coursera’s editorial team is comprised of highly experienced professional editors, writers, and fact…

However, if you want to save your chat search history for future reference, you’ll need to sign up for a free daman game account. If you want to try Perplexity for yourself, head over to perplexity.ai/. On Februrary 8, 2023, the company rebranded its chatbot system to just, “Perplexity” and released a Chrome extension of the same name.

What is Perplexity AI? — everything there is to know about the search engine and chatbot

If information is not easily available (hidden behind paywalls, not indexed, or simply not yet written about), the AI might give an incomplete answer. So while Perplexity might cite mainstream sources, it’s not immune to reflecting the biases present in those sources or in the broader internet. This can show up in subtle ways, like how questions about controversial topics are answered. Perplexity tries to pull from “trustworthy” web sources, but determining trustworthiness is tricky.

Article sources

Perplexity AI is rapidly emerging as a major player in the generative AI space, boasting 22 million monthly active users, 120 million monthly visitors, and generating $80 million in revenue last year. The product transitioned from a clever demo to mainstream use quickly after its launch in late 2022, and its growth reflects a broad appetite for an experience that blends AI fluency with verifiable sourcing. If you’ve ever been frustrated by endless link-scrolling, contradictory answers, or answers that sound confident but can’t be trusted, Perplexity is built to feel like an honest, fast guide in the chaos of the web.

Its chat-based design allows for follow-up questions, enabling deeper exploration of a topic without restarting the search process. By merging search, summarization, and source verification into one step, Perplexity saves significant time compared to bouncing between multiple websites. Perplexity helps analysts and entrepreneurs track market trends, competitor movements, and industry news without the clutter of traditional search engines. Around 2 million users from around the globe visit Perplexity AI each day. Its real-time search + AI summarization capability makes it uniquely valuable for anyone who needs accurate, up-to-date, and traceable information quickly.

For example, it can assist with writing drafts or creating “Pages,” which are sharable documents that compile answers and sources on a topic (useful for research reports or presentations). In January 2025, Perplexity launched the Perplexity Assistant, an AI-powered tool designed to enhance the functionality of its search engine. Perplexity’s Search API provides AI developers with programmatic access to the company’s search infrastructure. Internal Knowledge Search enables Pro and Enterprise Pro users to simultaneously search across web content and internal documents. Perplexity also enables users to generate customizable web pages and research presentations based on user prompts.

  • It comes as no surprise, given Perplexity uses OpenAI’s image generation models similar to those used by ChatGPT.
  • That means the UI emphasizes short, focused replies, easy access to the source material behind every claim, and the ability to ask follow-ups as if you’re chatting with an expert.
  • It can perform tasks across multiple apps, such as hailing a ride or searching for a song, and is capable of maintaining context across actions.

Master Perplexity AI: Everything You Need to Know to Begin

What makes Perplexity’s free version stand out is its combination of real-time web search and AI-generated answers with citations — something not all free AI tools offer. Perplexity AI blends real-time web search with large language model (LLM) capabilities to deliver accurate, sourced answers in a conversational format. Pro users can access more powerful AI models and extra tools​. Similar to ChatGPT Search, the model combines a traditional search engine with an AI assistant, delivering answers in natural language backed by references.

Perplexity AI uses a tiered pricing model designed to serve casual users, power researchers, and large organizations alike. Many competitors either restrict live search or keep citations behind a paywall, but Perplexity includes them even for non-paying users. The free tier is designed to make the platform accessible to anyone who wants fast, accurate, and sourced answers, whether for casual research, learning, or quick fact-checking. Yes — Perplexity AI offers a free plan that gives users access to its core features without any upfront cost. For users today, Perplexity can be a powerful tool to satisfy curiosity and conduct research in a way that is efficient and conversational. And while Google’s AI came out on top when we tested Gemini 2.0 vs Perplexity, this modular approach might set a trend for AI assistants to become orchestras of models rather than a single AI.

It’s not trying to replace search engines entirely; it’s trying to give a better first-draft answer — one you can rely on or dive deeper from. After referring to several sources, it then summarizes the data it finds to give you the most relevant answer. As it develops and competitors enhance their features, we are sure to see boundaries continually pushed towards what a “search engine” can do in the AI era.

It all started in June 2024, when Forbes accused Perplexity of using its original reporting without proper credit and issued a legal threat. The company was also in early talks to buy half of TikTok’s US operations after a federal ban was put on hold. The deal would also reportedly include a financial investment from Samsung and deeper integration of Perplexity into apps like Samsung Internet and Bixby. The company is now developing Comet, a next-generation agentic AI web browser. Similarly, Google’s AI Overviews now show AI-generated results above standard search results.

It is an online shopping platform that includes AI-generated product recommendations and enables users to purchase products directly through Perplexity’s interface. The company has also developed its own models Sonar (based on Llama 3.3) and R (based on DeepSeek R1). It allows the user to select between backend models such as GPT-5, GPT-4.1, o4-mini, Claude 4.0, Grok 4 and Gemini Pro 3.

As the AI space continues to evolve, Perplexity’s focus on transparency and real-time knowledge could set the standard for the next generation of AI-powered search. Whether you’re a student, business owner, researcher, or simply someone who values precise answers, Perplexity AI offers a unique blend of speed, depth, and credibility. From finding the healthiest breakfast options to comparing product reviews, Perplexity delivers quick, trustworthy answers for personal use. Students, educators, and researchers can use Perplexity to find credible information with cited sources, reducing the time spent filtering through irrelevant or outdated materials. ChatGPT is a conversational AI primarily trained on pre-existing data, while Perplexity AI combines conversational AI with real-time web search and cited responses.

Perplexity will likely integrate newer and more powerful AI models as they become available. Perplexity AI has already made waves as part of the vanguard of AI-powered search, and its trajectory suggests it could significantly influence the future of how we find information. As a relatively young service, it may have occasional glitches or downtimes, and new features like the Android assistant are still in beta and may not always work perfectly. The controversy highlights a broader issue in the AI industry about fair use of data and compensation for content creators.
