Perplexity Comet challenges the traditional search engine model by directly answering users' queries and offering conversational context. Unlike Google’s classic blue links, Perplexity provides synthesized, cited answers and lets users seamlessly follow up with related questions without restating context. It excels in research and travel planning by aggregating and verifying data across sources, greatly reducing tab overload and time spent.

However, for highly specific technical issues or price comparisons, Google’s deeper index and shopping tools retain an edge. Perplexity stands out for transparency and efficiency, while not fully replacing classic search for all needs.
