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 someone give steps to get this offer? Should I opt for monthly pro or yearly pro service?

Which reminds me. Buyers of the Pixel 9 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.
Is this new? I bought my Pixel 9 in December last year and didn't see such an offer.

Still not clear. I have perplexity installed. PayPal app present. PayPal does show this deal. But How to link to my perplexity and does it have to be monthly pro subscription or yearly pro subscription. When I go in my perplexity account to go for pro subscription I do not see PayPal as payment method.

I signed up for the 2TB cloud plan to get the credit on google store purchases. Then I bought the Pixel 9 and 'upgraded' to the 2TB Gemini Pro account. It's been fun to play with but my work has the full copilot M365 suite that uses GPT-5 and so far comparing the two it's not even close. I won't be renewing the Gemini subscription at the end of this year trial. Definitely worth doing though before it expires.

As per the reports I read in the morning, this was supposed to be available via Venmo app too. But I'm not seeing it there. My Paypal is "limited", so I can't do it from there.

Not as reliable as Gemini in my experience. All of them hallucinate, and without a way to check the sources, it's even worse.

I double checked. Pixel 9 Pro users only. That includes the Pixel 9 Pro XL too. The regular vanilla Pixel 9 didn't get the offer:

When I click the link it just asks me what I want to pay with and shows a free 1 year at the bottom. After you click the payment card you want does it start the new account creation after that?

Found this link that makes everything much easier

Thank you for the link.

I tried to make a new perplexity account (i had used the xfinity offer) and then try the paypal offer. It still says "You've previously subscribed to Perplexity Pro. This promotion is only valid for first-time subscribers."

My paypal address is the same as my previous perplexity pro account that had the xfinity offer...... so I guess they are checking if your paypal account is in their database.

Am I stupid? Why can't I get Perplexity to respond in plain text like ChatGPT does? It's only giving me links even when I prompt it correctly. I'm ... perplexed.
