Reviews
-
It's useful for casual browsing questions, but when I ran the same query side by side with Perplexity, the sourcing here felt thinner and less consistent. Might just need to learn the modes better.
-
Switched to the coding mode while debugging a Python script for a class project and it walked through the error line by line. Much clearer than the answers I was getting elsewhere.
-
The custom apps let me build a simple competitor tracker in an afternoon, which impressed my whole team. The interface still feels a little busy compared to other tools I've tried.

I run three different modes for the same campaign brief: research, writing, and image generation, all without leaving one tab. It has basically replaced four separate bookmarks for me.
