Glad it was helpful!
New to site great alfie keep up good work 👏
Thanks and welcome!🙏
If you ask a question, but the answer only lies in a KZhead video, can it find that? Or if you upload a csv file, can you ask it to find what the revenue for last month was?
Perplexity does read the transcript of KZhead videos. Gor documents it can read PFFs but not sure about csvs, for that chatgpt is ptobably still the best option
Can EDIT YOUR KZhead Videos?
How does it compare to Gemini?
Genini is like ChatGPT. Its a language model. Perplexity can use Gemini behind the scenes to summarize info across different links but it wont do the same thing
Isn’t this really just an interface that draws its information from Open AI and Google?
In a nutshell, yes. BUT the big difference is it synthesizes information across those sources so its great for obscure questions that no single link can answer. For example, “who is the most watched basketball player with the most shoe sales”. Those two statistics could be across two different sources, but perplexity can give you the answer in one go. Its great for making detailed research quicker without having to crawl the internet manually.
@@AlfieMarsh interesting. Thanks for the video.
While OpenAI doesn't provide any sources at all, search engines (like Bing, DuckDuckGo, Google etc.) provide only sources. Perplexity combines that, making your research a little easier. Additionally, you can ask Perplexity e.g. to verify the sources, or critique its own answer that way making it "better" (more complete). Additionally one can ask for a certain output format (e.g. MarkDown etc.) thus saving time.
As I know ... its NOT capable of searching by it self ... only filtered infos are available given by the admins ...
Just try it out to see that your assumption is wrong. Perhaps you are referring to the current practice of all AI providers to censor what may be shown and how things should be framed. That can't be helped, I'm afraid, as long as there are only "western" AI providers who are trying hard to impose their world views (aka bias) on the rest of the world. Perplexity, I _guess_, does something similar with their search results by means of super/system/admin prompts to make the answers politically correct.
Based on ur presentation i find it useless tool
Ive found myself using it everyday. For low value answers i need its helpful. But for deep research i still use google
Tbh I prefer Krawl AI over Perplexity. It's more work-focused and I can get lot more things done using it because of the "tools" concept they introduced. Plus they are adding new tools to it almost every other week. It's not necessarily great for scientific research yet, but still more useful than Perplexity in other use cases I think
Awesome im going to check it out
