Perplexity
An answer engine that searches the web first and then writes a response with numbered citations for its claims. Good for students starting research on an unfamiliar topic, developers checking what changed in a library, and job seekers researching a company before applying. Open the cited sources before quoting anything; the free tier limits how many advanced searches you can run each day.
