I was fine using Google until I learned about Perplexity, the search engine of dreams.<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s motto is “Where knowledge begins.” Google’s covert motto is “Where an endless column of sites which may give you an answer but will also try to sell you something begins.”<\/p>\n

And that’s the beauty of Perplexity. Say you have a question. Today, for instance, I wondered what “Kol Nidre” means. (One of my random dives into learning something about my Jewish heritage.) I went to Perplexity. I got the complete answer without having to go into another site.<\/p>\n

Perplexity does offer links to other pertinent sites where I could further explore my question but places those sites discretely, politely above the answer and in small boxes, so you don’t feel superficial if you don’t click on ’em.<\/p>\n

Perplexity is an intellectual’s search engine. I don’t have to ask a direct question, and I don’t have to make my search info short: I can type in a full thought without<\/em> a question. And when Perplexity rolls out the information I’m seeking, it offers related, perhaps more esoteric, matters I might wish to investigate.<\/p>\n

I learned about Perplexity from my sister, a physician, who told my brother, a musician, who told me. My sister said it gives her medical information that can prompt her to think differently or more deeply about a problem. She loves it.<\/p>\n

If you try Perplexity, I bet you, too, will want to thank my sister.<\/p>\n

P.S. I hadn’t realized Perplexity operates (is that the right word?) on A.I<\/a>. So not only do I get information, I feel au courant<\/em> in getting it. I’m a hipster. Again.<\/p>\n

P.P.S. At this moment, Beethoven’s 16th string quartet, opus 135, is playing on Music Choice. And I was thinking “This was his last composition, wasn’t it?” So I asked Perplexity, and yes. It was his last composition.<\/p>\n
