Overview
Perplexity is an AI answer engine. You ask a question in plain language; it searches the web, summarises what it finds and links each part of the answer to its source. Follow-up questions stay in the same session, and Research mode reads many sources to write a full report you can export as a PDF or document. It runs in the browser, in desktop apps for Mac and Windows and on phones, and suits students, writers and anyone who wants answers they can trace back.
Every answer shows its citations, so you can open the sources and judge them yourself instead of taking the reply on trust.

Limits
- The free Standard plan includes only a very limited amount of Pro Search and limited Research; advanced models and image generation need a paid plan.
- Answers are AI summaries of web sources; open the cited links to check facts before you rely on them.
