I signed up to be a paid subscriber (I've been thinking about it for a while, but the perplexity offer pushed me over the edge). I can't see how to get access to Perplexity. Am I missing something?

Hi Jenny! Welcome! Excited to have you in the club. :) All paid subscribers will very soon receive a special bonus email with the Perplexity Pro info as well as an invite to my upcoming live workshop. (Those who were already paid members also got the info in a message tucked into the emailed post). Glad you're here!

Thanks, Jeremy, I will send you the link today.

Sorry to answer you so late, but I was building the first Substack free directory: directorio.substack.com (in Spanish).

Hi Salvador, can you link back to Wonder Tools in the intro and at the end? That way people can find the newsletter if it’s of interest.

There are various links at the bottom, 1 in the middle and I add one in the intro. See now, please: https://carreras.substack.com/p/prueba-perplexity-para-buscar

Is it ok?

Thanks! I wonder if I should consider translating the posts more often into multiple languages?

I have been using Perplexity for a few months now, and I find it better at understanding user intent compared to Google Search. Instead of providing me with endless lists of links and ads, it gives me straightforward answers. I really love it!

However, I'm unsure if Perplexity will have the financial resources to sustain itself in the long run. :)

Is the "paid subscribers to Wonder Tools can get a year of Pro for free" offer still valid?

Yes. As of now it is. Paid subscribers got an email with details and another will go out soon.

I do agree that Perplexity offers innovative search capabilities with some unique features, but it often generates references that are inaccurate or fabricated, similar to the hallucinations seen with ChatGPT. This limits its reliability for sourcing accurate information.

I've made Perplexity my default search browser and really appreciate the summarized results, no ads and easy of going deeper when I want to.

Perplexity is great, I use it often alongside Komo. However, just a caution: be sure to check the sources. Its citations are not always accurate and it will produce information that doesn't exist in the cited sources (especially with statistics). It also has developed a tendency in recent months to not produce citations, especially when using the academic filter.
