This is where first mover advantage and habit play too. Chat gpt and meta ai are good enough for basic recall and summarization tasks.
Google has a branding problem. They integrated Gemini into their search UI, so they just want people to continue the same landing page. However, it feels too noisy, and unnecessary. All I want is a summarization. I don't want to see a huge list of ads or slightly related links. Adds no value to me.
I tried anthropic but it fell way short and so stuck with chat gpt and meta ai. Now for Perplexity I need a compelling need to use it. Haven't seen it yet.
I mentioned Perplexity because their service focuses pretty much only on using LLMs for searching and summarizing. It doesn’t do creative stuff like some of the other services do.
I mainly also just use AI for searching and summarizing like you seem to do as well so that’s why I recommended it.
As a free user you get a few “Pro” searches a day which are more detailed and extensive in terms of summarizing. With a subscription you get more of those.
The regular basic searches you get in there for free are also good but less detailed.
Just putting this here in case anyone else is interested. I’m sharing this stuff for Perplexity because the Pro searches helped me study for an exam I was taking recently so maybe it might help someone else. Of course the regular non-pro searches in Perplexity were fine too.
