This Everyday AI podcast episode provides a live walkthrough and analysis of Perplexity's new Deep Research feature, comparing it to similar offerings from Google and OpenAI. The host explores the feature's functionality, speed, cost (currently offering five free queries daily for non-subscribers), and accuracy through several test prompts. He highlights the iterative search process and reasoning capabilities as key differentiators but notes instances of hallucination in the results, particularly when querying personal information. Listeners gain a practical understanding of Perplexity's Deep Research, its strengths and weaknesses, and the importance of verifying AI-generated information. A comparison of all three deep research tools is promised for the following episode.
