My experience: is Perplexity AI smarter than traditional search?
Perplexity AI speeds up research. Instead of endless links, it provides an answer summary and cites sources for verification.
For questions like “AI go‑to‑market trends,” Google takes multiple pages. Perplexity highlights key insights with citations, like chatting with an analyst.
That “answer first + sources attached” style reduces mental load and fits writing, coding, and decision‑making.
