AMA; I've used perplexity at length since May for my work as a tutor and also for general usage. created several whole documents in it, including whole website# (as an experiment). it's RAG support is inconsistent (you can't expect it to pull info the same way Everytime you make a new prompt, even if it's the same stuff uploaded to the RAG database each time). it really is more like a superpowers version of google; it answers questions thoroughly with many sources. like with any LLM in 2025, it is still prone to hallucinations if you either are too vague with your prompt or have not uploaded anything to your RAG.

I'm still getting used to the spaces feature for when I am working on several projects at the same time. it's honestly just easier to have multiple tabs.

the in-house model is very quick and sufficient for most Google-esque tasks. my work flow usually involves using search for 99% of my task (even when I'm not literally 'searching') and then 1% using the labs feature to make the actual project (document, whatever). beware...Everytime you regenerate or reprompt under labs, it uses one of the 50 credits.

deep research is good for seeing the reasoning and 'thoughts' of the LLM while it finds answers to your question. I find that it is better for making math questions, since that's where the hallucinations are pretty bad (you can't make this shit up ..it will literally say that 2+2=7 if you are careless in your generations)...it is slower though, so if you're just asking for an answer to a simple question, no point in using it.

I re-upped via the comcrap promo at the 11th hour using the same promo code from last summer. you do have to make a new email. however, you can import your persona from your old account (ask the old account for your info, and then paste that info into the new account by saying 'this is my persona. remember this.'

your old account doesn't outright 'die' once it goes to free tier...you just have limited pro searches and you can't use the labs feature. keep it there for posterity sake in case you have any old threads with useful info.

I also run a local model (a jailbroken version of gpt-oss) via lm studio. for additional math questions for the sake of comparison with Perplexity and its various models.

Two things, I'd avoid for the next while.

Giving an LLM access to a browser with possibly active sessions on bank websites.
Giving an LLM access to aws cli, gcloud.
It's ridiculously easy to convince an LLM to drain your bank account and very hard to protect against it as evidenced by nearly constant jail breaks of gpt, Claude and Gemini models

I asked perplexity if I cancel now would I lose the trial? It said, no! So, I cancelled and can confirm the accuracy of the response.

Can I save it now and activate it near the end of the year? I still have a few months left on a different tool.
Edit: yes, you can. In case anyone else is in same boat.

I couldn't find the offer - tried on website which didn't have option, and PayPal site which didn't either.

to find the offer, login to PayPal on your phone, and you'll see the offer under your features offers on the main screen.

Saved you the click: Even if you try signing up with a new account, but your paypal e-mail addy was the account e-mail of your previous Pro trial, you can't take advantage of this.

How does this compare to other AI's?
I already had the free pro so I am not eligible.
But I did prefer Gemini to it.
Which reminds me. Buyers of the Pixel 9 PRO phone got 1 free year of Gemini Pro. I still haven't redeemed it yet. I think it can still be redeemed for a few more months.

Protip: convince LLM to steal all your money and YOLO it in some SPY EOD day trade and legally you can't be blamed if you lose it all

They also have a browser now called Comet. I got Perplexity Pro free from Xfinity, and I have been trying out Comet. So far, I like it.

Do you have an invite?

If I cancel right away does the year end?
If it is like the Xfinity deal, there is nothing to cancel, since they never asked for a payment method. The Pro features just end after a year.

Does it matter if you sign up for a monthly pro or annual pro subscription? Leaning towards monthly, as the details of this promotion are not clear.

Update: used the Samsung app store method instead, no payment information required if you are eligible.
