Subject: Re: News/Rumors of Apple's interest in Perplexity
If you use any AI, what do you use it for?

Pretty much anything for which I used to use Google where I would check multiple search results. So now I just use Google for cases where the top result is the one I want e.g. the score of the hockey game.

Shopping is a good one. I recently was shopping for an amplifier and gave Perplexity the features I wanted and asked for the leading models in a certain price range. I could then ask follow-up questions on whether those models worked with the features of my existing equipment.

It's great for open-ended queries in areas in which I only have a passing knowledge. It gives me a summary that I would normally need to go through several websites to obtain. It then answers follow-up questions in the same context.
