It is useful for the people who does research and development, the answers it gives are most accurate and useful. Also the agent helps to do any tasks automatically and saves a lot of time. The Ui/Ux is so minimal and clean useful for easy navigation. The performance is so good. The pricing can be a little better and lower.
What do you dislike about the product?
There can be more student offers and can be a little better improved in the search engine and task and the support can be improved.

What do you like best about the product?
Clear and straightforward search, and most importantly fact checking makes the results reliable and trustworthy

Not much. Perhaps the switch to computer (using tokens) happening sometimes without noticing, when I sometimes just aim for simple searchs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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ChatGPT) don't have real-time web access out of the box without browsing plugins, and their knowledge cutoffs lead to outdated answers.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.
