Perplexity is quickly becoming my go-to search engine. After ChatGPT’s launch, I found myself using ChatGPT a lot – especially when I was seeking recommendations or planning travel. My usage was roughly 50-50 between ChatGPT and Google/Bing (via Ecosia).
Over time, however, I found myself missing links where I could learn more. And that’s how I fell in love with Perplexity. When I ask a question or search for something, I see the links Perplexity generates its content from. I find myself taking a look at the links often to get a better sense of the validity of the response.
Perplexity has increasingly grown its share of searches. I think my share is roughly 70% Perplexity, 25% Bing (via Ecosia)/Google, and 5% ChatGPT.
I’m excited to see how this evolves.
PS: Perplexity also has a special place in my heart as the Co-founder and CEO is a fellow high school alumnus. Kudos Aravind!
