Today on The Daily Seed, we're breaking down Perplexity AI, the search engine that's quietly changing how millions of people find information.

Here's the short version: instead of giving you a list of links to sort through, Perplexity reads the web for you and gives you a direct answer with citations you can click to verify. Think of it as the difference between being handed a stack of library books and being handed a research summary with footnotes.

What makes it worth your time:

Pro Search runs a multi-step research process (it might even ask you a clarifying question before searching)

Spaces let you set up dedicated research areas with custom instructions

Focus Modes let you filter by source type (Academic, Reddit, YouTube, and more)

Pages turn any research thread into a shareable document with one click

The free version works right now at perplexity.ai. No account needed.

Here's my question for you: what's one thing you search for regularly where Google's results have been getting worse? Try running that same search in Perplexity and tell us what you find.
