Been using Perplexity AI quite a bit lately for random queries, like travel suggestions.
So I started wondering what random things people are using it for to help with daily tasks. Do you use it more than Google/etc?
Also if anyone is paying for Pro versions? Thinking if it’s worth it paying for Perplexity AI Pro or not.
There’s now a privacy-respecting offer on DDG, use the !ai bang to get to it.
To answer your question, any “natural language” query of modest importance, where asking a question like “will there be any more movies in that series by this director?” is easier than checking the usual movies websites.
How does that work? You just type that before your query and it gives you ai answers?
Yup, there’s many of them. I use DDG all the time, but this feature probably works in other search engines too - I just don’t know
From any search bar configured to use DDG, just type !ai followed by your query
You can do this from the DDG website too of course. Other useful “bangs” include !w for Wikipedia, or !aw for the Arch Linux wiki, or even just !img for image search.
