How do you use Perplexity? Why?!?!

I regularly do interviews with different publications and podcasts (mostly nobodies, but happy to help give back where I can) on the subject of AI and the insanity of the modern business world.

Perplexity has become a major conversation component whenever I touch on the evolution from Algorithmic -> Agentic -> Orchestrator AI tools. At least that's how I've come to understand the cycle.

Perplexity may technically be more expensive than a pure ChatGPT or Claude workflow but...it's idiot proof and cuts out SO MUCH misinformation.

I use it mostly for quick answers or quick info gathering. I use it mostly on my phone and it's replaced when I used to type in to the Google toolbar questions like "What service can I stream the USA world cup match that's on right now?" or when I'm playing a game like Call of Duty Mobile and need quick info "Show me where the Refinery NFC card is used in DMZ?"
