👍 THE ADVANTAGE
- ●Best-in-class citation-backed research with inline source verification
- ●Lets you choose the underlying model (GPT-4o, Claude, Sonar) per query
- ●Real-time web search is core to the product, not an add-on
- ●Low hallucination rate for fact-finding, academic, and journalism workflows
ℹ THE TRADE-OFF
- ●Weaker for creative writing, open-ended brainstorming, and long-form drafting
- ●Pro features are gated by compute points, which can run out on heavy research days
- ●Limited ecosystem integrations outside its own apps and browser extensions
- ●Not a replacement for a general-purpose assistant like ChatGPT or Claude
