What is Perplexity AI?

Think of it as the love child of Wikipedia and ChatGPT—only smarter, faster, and more conversational.

3. Focus Mode: Want to dig deeper? Use the Focus mode to fine-tune your search and streamline sources. It's like having a personal research assistant.

4. Follow-up Questions: Perplexity remembers the context of your queries. Ask a follow-up question, and it will interpret it in the same context, saving you the hassle of rephrasing.
