Perplexity

An AI search engine that answers questions with cited sources.

Perplexity is an AI-powered search engine: instead of a list of links, it gives a direct answer with citations you can check. It grew fast enough to be treated as a serious challenger to Google, and its browser and shopping features keep expanding.

For beginners it is also a useful habit-former, because its visible citations make the verify-your-facts routine feel natural.
