Perplexity is an AI-powered answer engine that responds to natural-language questions with cited summaries drawn from real-time web sources, plus follow-up suggestions. It serves consumers, researchers, and professionals looking for direct answers instead of a list of links. The product distinguishes itself by combining retrieval-augmented generation with inline citations and a Pro tier that runs queries against multiple frontier models including GPT, Claude, and Sonar.
