Perplexity AI

Because I like all the features they have from video and graphics in Gemini.

If I'm doing research, I'm using the tool Perplexity.

But also, when it comes to writing, I would use Claude, which is by the company Anthropic.

But

So I would say if you are not going to use it to its full potential, I probably would not make that investment because it does cost money.

But if you still want to stay with something free, ChatGPT is great.

Perplexity is great.

Well, how do they make money? Well, they make money off of all their engagements they have with enterprises.

Meanwhile, the New York Times and other newspaper publishers have sued Brave Software, accusing the browser company of circumventing digital paywalls and distributing copyrighted news content to artificial intelligence companies without authorization.

According to Ars Technica, the lawsuit alleges that Brave supplies real-time news content from its search index to AI firms, including Anthropic, Perplexity, Mistral, XAI, and Cohere, for model training and responses to user queries.

The legal action follows reports that Brave's optional paywall blocking feature can enable users to access otherwise restricted New York Times articles.

And finally, Russian domain registrar and hosting provider Begit has suffered a large-scale cyber attack that disrupted services and reportedly destroyed data across its cloud infrastructure, affecting hundreds of websites.

Yes.

So if we took, for example, a question you ask us and a question you ask Perplexity or ChatGBT, you know, the answers could be exactly the same in the beginning.

You have a persistent memory with Stupid Good AI.

It's going to understand what you asked, what you liked, what lists you made, eventually what reservations you're making.

I think that's fair.

I think I see that with ChatGPT and Claude and Perplexity and every other large language model that I play with.

I ask it something and it gives me let's just say 80% of an answer, 80 to 85% of an answer.

And then asks, what about, but do you mean this? Or do you want to do these, you know, A, B, or C? And it's like, okay, I, you know, I don't mind that because it's, It got me part of the way there, and it convinces me it knows at least the neighborhood I'm in.

This is not the first AI assistant to do this.

ChatGPT launched a similar feature in May of this year, and Perplexity connected bank accounts in April.

But Claude's arrival means that all three of the leading consumer AI platforms now read your bank data.

The design choice Anthropic made, Plaid, read-only tokens, user-approved, revocable, reflects a deliberate philosophy about how AI agents should interact with financial infrastructure.

The question it raises, though, is a real one.

As AI agents become more capable and more integrated into our financial lives, the boundary between reading and acting on your behalf is a line that will be under enormous pressure to move.

And speaking of agents under pressure, Perplexity launched its own agentic product this week, Teammates, rolling out to max subscribers on the web as proactive agents that can use computer tasks, skills, memory, and tools.

This is part of a broader industry sprint toward what researchers are calling agentic AI, systems that don't just respond to queries, but take sequences of actions autonomously.

If you're not, note that.

The secret, or not even the secret, but if you think about how search engines have always worked, and when you're using ChatGPT or Gemini or Perplexity or Clod or Grog, and you see them think, they're pulling up little websites in the bottom, so they're getting all their information from internet searches.

There's not like some big... you know, secret repository that they all have.

Like they're getting information from the internet.

Put as many images in there as you possibly can and reviews.

Reviews matter.

And ChatGPT and Gemini and Perplexity and Claude, and um, At Grok, they're all pulling reviews.

So having a, and this is a good super secret tip.

Some people might be a little more qualified and go, hey, you know what? I'm using Gemini.

I'm using ChatGPT, and I'm using Perplexity.

Let's use them all at the same time.

And others may go somewhere in the middle ground and go, hey, I am more comfortable just going to a realtor.com to find my realtor.
