Quote from ScoGold :
I got a Perplexity Pro subscription for free from Xfinity a month ago and Perplexity has replaced Google as my search engine and new source. It's amazingly accurate and pulls from sources that are current.
You mean the first 10 hits aren't sponsored like Google?? Imagine being able to get an answer without having to scan half way down the page for the real answer. Wow. Who knew that was possible? Oh wait. Google knew.

Two things, I'd avoid for the next while.
  1. Giving an LLM access to a browser with possibly active sessions on bank websites.
  2. 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

It worked in the app for me too. Having a plus version would be nice.

It asks you to install Comet Browser.

No, the Comet Browser is not considered safe due to significant security vulnerabilities like indirect prompt injection attacks, which can allow malicious instructions hidden in websites to be executed by its AI agents, potentially leading to harm or fraud. While Perplexity has attempted to patch these issues, the fundamental flaw in how the browser processes web content and AI prompts remains a serious concern, making it risky to use, especially for sensitive tasks.

If you don't see it under the notification 'bell' in the Paypal app, close it for 60 seconds and come back to look again. I didn't have it, then left the app for a bit, suddenly noticed a notification badge and it was sitting there.

How does this compare to other AI's?
It uses all the major AI so it's pretty good.

Quote from starcaptor :
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.
I didn't know about the persona stuff. Thanks and repped!
Where do you paste the info?\Edit- I just pasted it into the search and asked it to use it. Easy peasy! Thanks again!
