AI Assistants
Perplexity AI
Get real answers with real sources — like Google and ChatGPT had a smarter, more honest baby
Using Perplexity is like having a sharp research assistant who reads the entire internet for you, hands you a clear summary, and points to exactly which book or article each fact came from.
Perplexity is an AI-powered search engine that answers your questions in plain English and shows you exactly where the information came from. Instead of giving you a list of blue links to click through, it reads the web for you and writes a direct answer with footnotes you can verify. It's especially handy when you want a quick, trustworthy answer without falling down a rabbit hole of tabs. Think of it as asking a really well-read friend who always cites their sources.
