Perplexity combines a search engine with an AI assistant. When you ask something, it searches the web, puts together an answer and adds source links so you can check the facts yourself. It's well suited to current-events questions, product comparisons and background research. You can ask in Finnish, but sources are often in English, and information on Finnish topics can be thinner. The free version is enough for everyday searching, and the paid plan adds more in-depth searches.
Who it is for: Researchers and curious people who like to check sources.
Best for: Finding information, Studying, Marketing, Customer service, Understanding health info, Money and budget
