AI for Everyone | Perplexity

It’s been a while since I’ve played with Perplexity, so I thought I’d take another look at it.

I started by asking “What can you do?”  Here’s the summary of the answer:

  • Information and Research
  • Writing and Editing
  • Learning and Education
  • Practical Help
  • Entertainment
  • Conversational Support

So, I figured I’d give it a chance to help with this Tech Tip.  I asked it to “write a Tech Tip that would encourage readers to use Perplexity instead of ChatGPT”.  Below is the answer it gave.  Not too bad, right?  Would you try Perplexity based on just this info?
