I made Comet (Perplexity) my primary browser: use it for quick searches systematically. Good integration through devices, whether mobile or desktop.

A tool helping on Day to Day basis for all works
Reviewed on Aug 31, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
It has completely replaced standard Google searching for my day-to-day work. Instead of opening 10 tabs, scanning through fluff, and manually compiling answers, Perplexity gives a synthesized summary with clear footnotes to the original pages right away. The Pro search feature is great when I need a multi-step dive into complex topics, and the Focus modes (like Academic or Writing) help narrow the scope so I don't get irrelevant web clutter. It essentially functions as a hyper-efficient research assistant.
What do you dislike about the product?
While citations are its core selling point, they aren't always 100% reliable. Occasionally, it generates 'phantom' citations—linking to a generic homepage or an article that doesn't actually contain the specific figure or quote it cited. You still have to manually verify sources for high-stakes reports, which slightly defeats the purpose of automated fact-checking. Also, thread context tends to drop if a conversation gets too long, forcing you to restart the search chain from scratch.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Standard AI models (like base ChatGPT) don't have real-time web access out of the box without browsing plugins, and their knowledge cutoffs lead to outdated answers. On the flip side, search engines just dump raw links without summarizing the context. Now perplexity bridges the gap between a search engine and an executive assistant. I use it to get quick summaries of industry news, vendor comparisons, and quick policy lookups during my day-to-day workflow. It frees up mental bandwidth and prevents tab overload.

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Perplexity is fast, intuitive, and easy to onboard. I value its accurate AI responses, source citations, web research, file and app integrations and smooth workflow. It saves research time, delivers strong productivity value, and requires little support to get started.

Sometimes the answers can sound overly confident even when sources are weak, so I still verify important information. Complex research can occasionally feel inconsistent or slower than expected. I’d also like better source control and fewer advanced features locked behind the paid plan.

Perplexity solves the problem of spending too much time searching across multiple websites to find reliable information. I use it for business research, software comparisons, technology research, and opportunity discovery. It helps me find, compare, summarize, and verify information far more quickly, which saves me time and supports better decision-making.

Easy intuitive interface, not too heavy on a pocket, speed of generating response and quality of answers. Support during onboarding is top notch.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far nothing comes to mind about dislikes but I would like to see options to notify my about preselected topics I'm interested with.

Perplexity helps me with a wide range of tasks, I do search for programming source codes and scripts, I also research places before heading for holidays, I do ask about some health issues and advice just to confirm what I learned in university is still correct. There is no topic that Perplexity is not capable to help you with or at least direct you towards that topic.
