In this blog, we'll explore what Perplexity is, the amazing things it can do, and give you easy step-by-step guides on how to use it on a website or with a Chrome extension. So get ready to dive into the world of Perplexity!

What is Perplexity

Perplexity AI is a free online search engine that's also really good at answering questions. It's kind of like when ChatGPT and Google team up to help you find stuff on the internet. You ask a question, and it goes out and finds the answer, and it even tells you where it found it.

How Perplexity Works

So, here's the deal with Perplexity. It's got this super-smart AI called GPT-3.5, and it's really good at understanding what people ask in regular language. When you ask it something, it does two things: first, it looks around the internet to find websites with answers. Then, it checks out those websites and picks out the info you need. This way, it gives you answers that are both trustworthy, like what you'd get from a regular search engine, and fast, like what you'd expect from AI. Pretty cool, right?
