What is an answer engine, and how does Perplexity work as one?
An answer engine is a tool designed to give you direct, detailed answers to your questions. Perplexity serves as an answer engine by searching the web, identifying trusted sources, and synthesizing information into clear, up-to-date responses. Unlike traditional search engines, which make you sift through a list of links, Perplexity delivers the insights you’re looking for in one place. While we aim for accuracy, we encourage you to double-check sources for added confidence.
