What's Your Take on Perplexity AI?


Perplexity has been growing fast as an AI search tool, blending conversational answers with cited sources and real-time web data. I’m curious how the HN community sees it:

Do you use it regularly, and if so, what makes it stand out from other LLMs or search engines?

How do you feel about the quality, speed, and trustworthiness of its answers?

Are there any drawbacks, limitations, or dealbreakers you’ve noticed?

Interested to hear both positive and critical perspectives—especially from people who’ve tried it alongside tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or Kagi.

I use it mainly for web search and have been using it for 2 years. Based on my experience, it currently hallucinates less than before. Selection between models make a difference over other apps.
