Effortless Research Simplification, But Needs Improvement for Cognitive Tasks
Reviewed on Apr 21, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I find Perplexity super helpful for reading news and primarily for internet-based research. It feels like it has access to the entire internet, simplifying AI tasks. It deeply searches and finds from all online articles, summarizing the insights in a simple format, which saves me a lot of time and effort managing, going, and finding resources. I appreciate the recently added news feature as it involves reading articles and such. Plus, I really like the ability to create spaces where I can upload sources, work within that space, ask relevant questions, and have it store all the context—it's a great part. Having this feature makes my life much easier, especially when working on specific projects. The setup is pretty straightforward; you just go to the website, sign in, and even the web mobile application is very easy to use. It's all just very straightforward.
What do you dislike about the product?
So general chat-based aspects. Right? Like, logical thinking. Where I need to provide typical straightforward answers for, let's say, replacing the emails maybe brainstorming about an idea, etcetera, etcetera. That I still rely on chat, Jira, or Gemini better. I found a few better answers over there. While there is an option to choose different models within Perplexity, still, the primary use case that it does well is around research rather than the cognitive load related task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Perplexity for internet-based research and reading news. It deeply searches online articles, summarizes insights simply, saving time and effort in finding resources. Creating spaces to upload and work with sources also simplifies my project work, consolidating information efficiently.

High-Quality, Accurate Searches with Minimal AI Feel
Reviewed on Apr 13, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I use Perplexity for complex search and text processes, and I like how it manages not to sound overly AI-generated while adding more value to the quality. The most important feature for me is the quality of each search; it stands out because it is high-quality and accurate. I appreciate that I can rely on the results due to their high standard. What I like most about Perplexity is how accurate and high-quality it is. When I compare the same search through different AIs, the difference in terms of quality and relevance on the topic is noticeable. It's not only about conducting a single research, but trusting the information because it's factual and educational. Additionally, the initial setup was pretty easy; I just signed up with my Google account and was ready to navigate through it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think overall, the issue with all AI's is the difference among models and paid versions they offer, it's very evident how the results changed depending on the subscription you have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Perplexity for complex searches, ensuring results don't sound too AI-generated. It provides high-quality, reliable information, making searches factual and learning more effective.
