## Reviews

### "GenAI powered chatbot with smarter search and citations" — 5.0/5

> **Nishant** | *29 March 2025* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: - Real time web search results is a major plus&#10; - Sources at the bottom for all the results produce helping people to check the accuracy of the information &#10; - Digestible and concise responses easy to comprehend  &#10; - Deep research functionality for complex tasks
> 
> **Cons**: - Like all AI tools, sometimes it does produced inaccurate results &#10; - Often, it provides overload of sources for even a small query&#10; - No image generation capability
> 
> Fabulous tool for research analysts and consultants. It can be personal AI assistant to any of the search, reasoning and summarization tasks.

### "Perplexity - Great search/LLM combo tool" — 5.0/5

> **Mark** | *12 May 2025* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love how it searches the web for results as opposed to other LLMs that don't (I know now that many do). The user interface is also great and the fact that I can choose different models is a huge differentiator
> 
> **Cons**: The desktop app is pretty buggy over the course of using it for a few months. I also think they are losing ground on the next-gen models but I don't have much of a basis of saying that besides other tech people not citing Perplexity as pushing the envelope.
> 
> Overall it is an incredible daily research tool and it has replaced Google search for me.

### "A reliable AI generator." — 3.0/5

> **Abir** | *26 April 2024* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It  provides the answer to my question with the resources it used to get to the information.
> 
> **Cons**: When I'm providing a code to check it or to change it and I specify the way I want it to be done, Perplexity often chose another way than the one I needed .

### "The best AI tool available for business and students" — 5.0/5

> **Joseph** | *19 December 2024* | Professional Training & Coaching | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I have used it regularly since very early 2023 and became a paid subscriber in early 2024 as it delivered more value that I could turn into money on my end than other other AI available.  Uploading and reviewing documents within an expertise "Space" you create lets you create your AI-expert in any field.
> 
> **Cons**: They need to work on their marketing because it is superior to ChatGPT and others, yet few know about it.
> 
> Excellent.  It lets me do 5 hours of work in 15 minutes (not an exaggeration if you know how to use it effectively to review or draft documents).
