What is Perplexity?
Perplexity combines conversational questions with source-backed research. It can help a business get oriented on a market, supplier or unfamiliar subject, then follow the evidence into the underlying pages. Citations make checking easier; they do not guarantee that the answer faithfully represents every source or covers the whole question.
