    I use it every day for personal calorie tracking, and also for other purposes, such as checking the latest news.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    On rare occasions, it forgets things I’ve asked it to remember, like my height and age, but it recalls them again as soon as I prompt it.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    I use it for everyday tracking of news and calories.

    Handy and Comfortable: Comet Works Reliably

    Reviewed on Apr 07, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    It works and won't get you trouble if you don't expect too much. Comet is very handy. I don't use it as a primary browser, but it's comfortable
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Well, when things get though, LLMs have it hard. Nothing strange, but you should be aware.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    It helps me finding replies fast when I don't need anything too specific

    Perplexity Max: Deep Research, Great UI, and Powerful Model Aggregation

    Reviewed on Apr 06, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    Perplexity doesn’t just have one model; it works more like a model aggregator with citations, and it almost feels too good to be true when I’m doing research. The Deep Research and Apps feature (it was Labs at first) are really useful, the UI looks amazing, and the latest computer update is what convinced me to get the Max subscription.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Sometimes the citations aren’t accurate, and since its USP was delivering accurate results, it can end up hallucinating too much. The live data integration also doesn’t make it feel unique anymore.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Even when I’m doing deep research, it still feels like the best option. The Labs/Apps feature makes it easy to set up a dashboard for pretty much anything, and the connectors make integration with external software much simpler. Support is also quite good and quick, since the AI agent handles it.

    Powerful Tool with Persistent Memory Issues

    Reviewed on Apr 02, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    I like that I can give it a simple prompt, and it will orchestrate a team of agents for me. It's great that instead of dealing with one AI, I'm dealing with a team of AIs and different specialists can be brought in on demand. This makes using Perplexity feel like having a versatile team at my disposal, tailored to meet the exact skills needed.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    The memory is really failing. So I find I keep having to remind it of stuff that it knows or connectors we've put in place or past conversations, sometimes it advises incorrectly and errantly based on not knowing this memory. I do find that its level of errors is so high. I have to stop using it. My ChatGPT is more consistent with better quality results. And it is token hungry- burned through 45K credits in 30 days- expensive!!
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Perplexity allows me to search the web and pull various agents based on exact skills needed, which helps in strategy, writing reviews, and workflow analysis. I like that I can give a simple prompt and it orchestrates a team of agents for me.

    Endlessly Versatile—From Polishing Writing to Creating Slide Decks and Brochures

    Reviewed on Mar 31, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    I keep discovering new ways to use it. I started by having it polish things I’d already written, and now it’s helped me create slide decks and brochures, too. I’m sure I’m only scratching the surface, but it’s already been useful in more areas than I expected.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Nothing yet! I’m very happy with it so far, and everything has been working well for me.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    It has been benefiting me by making my work look and sound more professional. It also helps create more time in my day, which makes it easier to stay on top of everything.
