OpenAI launched SearchGPT via waitlist recently which does the same thing as Perplexity. I don’t use the latter so I don’t know how it compares but the OpenAI version been working fine for me. Kagi has also had similar functionality for a while too, which works with their Lens feature and has a fast mode if you add a question mark to the end of a regular search query.
It’s not much of a competitive moat compared to having the model itself.
- amiantos 2y agoI did some side by sides and repeated perplexity queries to SearchGPT when I got access about a week ago and I thought SearchGPT was a lot worse, in some cases just plainly misunderstanding a question or surfacing the wrong info. Just my anecdotal data, but feels about right for its beta status. Assumably Perplexity must have a little bit of secret sauce that OpenAI has to figure out.
- staticman2 2y agoKagi doesn't really have a similar function. The Kagi GPT feature only reads a small snippet of the web results, while Perplexity gets a large excerpt of the actual web site. I've tested this by having the AI read back to me the prompt given to it it used to answer the question.
