    Clean Interface, Fast Answers, and Reliable Sources for Research

    Reviewed on Jun 22, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    What I like best about Perplexity is its simple and clean interface, which makes finding information quick and easy. The AI provides direct answers and includes sources, so I can verify information without searching through multiple websites. It performs well for research, study, and learning new topics, and the responses are usually fast. I also got access through my Airtel subscription, which made it a cost-effective way to use advanced AI features. Getting started was easy, and I was able to use it effectively without much learning.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    One thing I dislike about Perplexity is that some AI-generated answers can be too brief or occasionally miss important details, so I still need to verify information from the cited sources. The free version also has limitations on advanced features. I would like to see more detailed explanations for complex topics and better integration with productivity tools to make research workflows smoother.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Before I started using Perplexity, I often had to dig through multiple websites to find reliable information for my studies and projects. Now I can get clear, summarized answers in one place, along with source links, which saves me time and makes research much easier. It helps me quickly grasp new topics, double-check information, and track down useful references when I need them. And because I access it through my Airtel subscription, I also get extra features at no additional cost, which improves the overall value for me.

    Perplexity: Detailed, Trustworthy Research with Clear Source Citations

    Reviewed on Jun 18, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    It’s best AI tool for research because it provides reliable sources and data. For in-depth research and writing research papers, I always prefer Perplexity since it gives me detailed, trustworthy information and clearly cites its sources. Overall, it’s one of the most useful tools for research.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    I dislike that I can’t use this tool to write polished emails, presentation content, or creative writing. Presentation content needs in-depth research, and while I can research with this AI tool, I still can’t get good, well-written content for presentations, emails, or LinkedIn social media posts.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    It solves my problem by giving me reliable data from their web search engine results. It helps me research faster by providing trustworthy sources that I can check to confirm whether the research is true and whether the content they’ve given is accurate. Overall, it mainly solves my problems when I’m doing research.
