Perplexity
Definition
Perplexity is an AI-powered search platform that generates direct answers to questions by combining the capabilities of large language models with information retrieved from online sources. It typically provides citations so users can review the sources used to generate its answers.
Why It Matters
Because Perplexity commonly cites the sources it uses, businesses can better understand which information is contributing to AI-generated answers.
Simple Example
A business owner asks both ChatGPT and Perplexity, "How do I improve my company's AI Visibility?" Both generate direct answers, but Perplexity typically displays links to the sources it used, making it easier for the business owner to review where the information came from.
