The feature is being compared to ChatGPT's code interpreter, with users noting that Perplexity's update allows for more advanced tasks. However, some users have also reported that asking about stock prices will require double work, along with the Tako data fetcher.
Perplexity is a large language model wrapper aimed at answering natural language questions, primarily used for research and learning. It stands out from other AI tools by providing links to sources and suggestions in response to queries, enabling users to fact-check and conduct further research. The tool is available both on the web and as an app, with a free plan allowing 5 co-pilot queries every 4 hours.
