Welcome to Perplexity! (1 of 7)
For the past two decades, we navigated the internet through search engines.
With every passing year, however, these search engines have become noisier and less reliable. The ten blue links they provide have transformed into sponsored posts, advertisements, and clunky, ad-filled blogs.
The future of search provides answers, not links, from quality sources across the web. It explores the corners of the internet in real-time – from academic research to news articles. The answers are derived from trusted sources and include transparent citations.
Perplexity is the world’s first answer engine: redefining search with direct answers to all of your questions.
Over the next seven days, we’re excited to show you how to get the most out of Perplexity by sharing some of our favorite features and use cases. Chat soon!

What makes Perplexity different? (3 of 7)
Hi there,
There are a lot of different AI tools out there right now. Today, we’ll share (our opinion) of how Perplexity is different than other search engines and AI tools.
Perplexity focuses on search. You ask a question, we scour the internet and find the 15+ highest-quality sources, and then craft the perfect answer for you. Here’s what makes us stand out:
1. We always cite our sources
If you care about accuracy and trust, Perplexity is the perfect tool for you. In every answer, we include citations of the sources we used. Curious to see where our answer came from? Just click on the number or the source tab to open the link. Other tools just provide black boxed answers.
2. We consider up-to-date and high-quality sources
We have real-time access to the web, which means our answers are always up to date – you can learn about news that is happening in real-time! Other tools are missing recent sources (or are incredibly slow).
3. We provide related questions and infinite follow ups
We generate a list of three follow up questions after every answer so you can explore further. Our mission is to help you find answers as quickly as possible.
4. We let you search more than just text
Not every answer requires a paragraph of text. We include images, videos, graphs, charts, and visuals cues. Search is multi-modal.Search with Perplexity
Tomorrow, we’ll walk you through Pro Search – our most powerful search option.

Focus with Perplexity (6 of 7)

We use to as well, which is why we built Focus.

The Focus button is at the bottom left of the search box. It lets you choose the data source you want to prioritize.
