WHAT THE TECH? App of the Year: Perplexity AI app a replacement...
In my 2024 smartphone app reviews, one app stood out from the crowd: Perplexity. This AI-powered tool does everything ChatGPT can do but with greater accuracy, more recent information, and a wider range of capabilities. It's so good that it's even giving Google Search a run for its money.
Advanced Capabilities
Perplexity excels at various tasks, including writing papers, crafting blog posts, and answering questions. It's like having a personal research assistant at your fingertips. For example, I asked Perplexity how a 45-year-old could gain muscle and lose weight. It provided a well-researched workout plan complete with citations and links to the source websites.
When comparing Perplexity to Google Search and ChatGPT, Perplexity's ability to provide sources and links sets it apart. Additionally, Perplexity searches Reddit and X posts, providing a broader range of information.
Up-to-Date Information
Another advantage of Perplexity is its up-to-date information. Unlike ChatGPT 3.5, which only searches the internet prior to 2021, Perplexity has access to current data. Its suggested follow-up questions are also more helpful. Perplexity even finds instructional YouTube videos for specific topics when prompted.
Versatility and Power
Perplexity is a game-changer. It's the AI app that I didn't know I needed. Whether you're a student, a writer, or just someone who needs answers, Perplexity is worth checking out. It's available for free on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. In fact, I’ll also argue that Perplexity is more powerful and versatile than both Siri and Alexa. It can perform various tasks, including generating creative content and presentations.
Perplexity is a search engine that uses AI to return search results like a human. There are several reasons why Perplexity is becoming so popular, from its accuracy and up-to-date information to its broad search capabilities.
