About

Perplexity is an AI-powered search and answer engine designed to provide accurate, real-time information. It combines natural language processing with web search to deliver concise and reliable answers. Users can ask questions conversationally and receive responses backed by cited sources.

Perplexity also offers follow-up questions to deepen understanding. Overall, it is a modern alternative to traditional search engines.

About

Text Uncle is an AI assistant that people use through ordinary text messages, without downloading an app or creating an account. Users can ask everyday questions, get plain-language explanations of letters, bills and photos, look up information that changes, draft messages, and check suspicious texts or emails. The service replies in clear, concise language and leaves decisions to the user. A free web checker also reviews pasted messages or screenshots for common scam warning signs. Personal and Family plans provide expanded question access; the Family plan can send a relative a brief alert when a parent's message appears suspicious, without sharing the message itself. Designed for older adults and the family members who support them, Text Uncle works with U.S. phone numbers and offers a simple text-based way to get help with everyday questions and digital safety concerns.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Provides answers with citations, along with source links. Acknowledges when there are disagreeing perspectives and cites both sides.
  • Web search better than Google. Copilot help with searches. Usage of multiple models like GPT4. CLAUDE. GEMINI (GOOGLE)... Easy to organize your searches. Image generation integrated. Video search integrated. Academic search integrated. Youtube only search integrated. Reddit only search integrated.
  • Really good for getting any kind of information summarized or in any other text format, with all sources for you to check if you question the answers. Better for personal use then ChatGPT.

Cons

  • Prone to factual errors. I have found this on numerous occasions by following up on the citations provided. An example: What were Dodi Fayed’s injuries? Answer says that he had a rarely-seen tear in a pulmonary vein. Checking the source cited, it is stated clearly that this was the injury sustained by Princess Diana, NOT her companion. A simple, obvious factual error like this makes me unwilling to rely on Perplexity yet.
  • Probably uses your data on searches for their training. Problems with the usage between online search and just talking with a specific LLM on a single thread (search). They probably don't care about old users as of now, basically cuz they been giving away free PP pro these lasts months.
  • It seems to learn what language I most often use. I would rather it gave me answers in the language as ask the question so I do not need to specify all other languages then my first.
