[latent urchin]

this is a challenging request but def be great if perplexity made a widget for mobile that would appear like siri or alexa or any assistant in the bottom

[mossy tulip]

we will look look into it

[limpid tree]

is a fix for answers cutting off in the making?

[mossy tulip]

what language do you use?

[limpid tree]

Greek

[mossy tulip]

we increased the limit a bit, the reason behind this cut off is quite technical but in a nutshell it is because languages outside of english require more resources to be generated

we will work on implementing a better solution here

[limpid tree]

Is this change live? Can i test it right now?

[covert sun]

Hi @limpid tree! Please try and let us know if that solved the problem.

[limpid tree]

Half of the answers cut off now.

[dreamy cipher]

Hello! I'm trying to use the perplexity chrome extension on a public github repo page and I get the error that the page I'm seeing is not public

https://github.com/antimatter15/alpaca.cpp

[hushed cipher]

This is real hard to read 😦

Gives us the option to increase font size and spacing between lines n paragraphs.

[hushed cipher]

App provides great value but at the same time it is making it hard to consume that value 😢

[limpid tree]

Formatting needs some improvement. Spacing, line breaks and bulletpoints.

[covert sun]

@hushed cipher, @limpid tree, thank you, guys! Wanted to say your feedback is always helpful, and we really appreciate it. Formatting improvements are on the backlog.

[crimson wave]

Thank you, very cool and useful website! Would be interesting to have a customized "popular now" homepage recommendations - for example, based on user interests (for example, I'm interested in tech, AI, travel, and wellness but not general or random news/queries)

[surreal spindle]

hola

[south hill]

I'm wondering does Perplexity Ask keep a record of previous questions asked. I can find "Your Threads" in Ipnone App, but not in Perplexity Ask page or extension.

[tacit mica]

Hi

[rocky arch]

Perplexity is what I use the most. Having the iPhone app, I use the browser site more. When I’m at home, I use my iPad mostly so is better for me. Hope it becomes an universal app

[covert sun]

Didn't quite get it @pure jasper! Is it some sort of feedback for Perplexity? Please post in a proper channel and it's better to explain, so others could appreciate what you learned and shared with us.

[spark river]

@mossy tulip I can't save the whole thread using official notion web clipper, each save only saves the first conversation in that thread. I don't know if this is due to a limitation of the feature in perplexity itself or if the notion web clipper is unstable.

[willow ferry]

this is such a great app/web app. How can I copy the text answers I get WITH the citations? Can it be exported? thx

[mossy tulip]

yes you can copy URLs and share them

[boreal acorn]

is always free?

[radiant kindle]

no official words on it; expect it to change whenever they feel like it

[boreal acorn]

thank you

[peak lichen]

I have a suggestion/feedback:
Add some formatting for marking and highlighting code snippets.

[quick herald]

Hey I started using the product - it's really good.

I was trying to have it summarize links for me, but two things:

• It's impossible to hold shift enter to have a multi line prompt
• The link doesn't seem to get ingested properly and it didn't work.

I tried this link as an example
https://blog.unity.com/preview/1qdrJYIEwQ1b3VTUM_-JnX5BBJVEiCkUsnmU7z812Xo

[covert sun]

Thanks for the suggestion, @peak lichen! Code formatting within the app is indeed on our backlog, and our team is working on implementing it. Stay tuned for updates!

[covert sun]

Hi, @quick herald, thanks for your feedback! Multiline/longer prompts are currently available on our Discord server and will be coming to other platforms soon. Regarding the link you wanted to summarize, our Chrome extension did well with the task.
https://www.perplexity.ai/?s=e&uuid=53b85683-683a-469c-8c54-e27f1d867149

[quick herald]

Cool it would be great to have the ability to paste a link to summarize without a plugin but it seems like you’re on it for the most part.

Cheers

[radiant kindle]

Don't ask why I tried to summarize a twitter page... but I wonder

• if the "javascript not available" happens with just this page or with more / all twitter pages, and
• if other websites can suffer from this kind of problem.

I don't think I want to share the thread nor the twitter URL in question tho, sorry if that makes investigation harder...

[subtle basin]

Hey, I tried to understand how Perplexity as a company works and couldnt find a lot. Maybe it would be good to provide some transparency in the blog section or about. Technical aspects, how it finances itself, if data is collected, which search engine is used (if).. Hope that helps

[keen phoenix]

it often cuts off Russian text without finishing it even in the detailed mode

I think it mainly due to the tokenizer being not optimized to other languages than English

but there must be other ways to get around

[radiant kindle]

Who the hell is this

And legitimacy as a Perplexity-deployed bot aside, selfbots is still arguably against Discord TOS?

Confirmed that they are not a bot. No idea who they are, and no idea what their website is supposed to be (look at that fishy domain name, "NFT port").

[radiant kindle]

https://www.perplexity.ai/search/51611ae5-301c-469f-9f27-ce0ceb4b59a6?s=u
The last question of this thread, wtf with the sources, and wtf with the mention that the idiom is unrelated to search results?
Is it because I had a lot of unrelated "context" from previous questions? I don't get these from a fresh thread.

[covert sun]

I agree, don't open suspicious links, and don't recommend it to anybody. Link deleted, user banned. Thanks for reporting and keeping the community safe.

[pure jasper]

wait

let me see if i can take that and ask my commpiler

[vapid cedar]

1. Would be great to access my threads across different platforms
2. Ability to copy the thread in markdown would be exceptionally helpful as it would be easier to integrate into workflows

[dusk temple]

please tell me about Seattle and answer in Chinese.

[mossy tulip]

next week, stay tuned

[covert sun]

@vapid mason thanks a lot for reporting the issue! We will look into it and work on a fix. We appreciate your input and your help in making Perplexity AI better!

[jade shale]

I think the text box should be bigger and allow multiple lines in the prompt. There should be text warping as well.

[urban seal]

why the refrences num is only five ,can't there be more references links in one answer?

[urban seal]

yeah,many chatbos have this problem and when you press enter you can't change line you must edit it on notepad and copy to the text box

@covert sun does the "site" order error?i order perplexity using site orders but it doesn't work ,just can use"this domain" on chrome addons,"this page" is also unavalable

[covert sun]

Hey @urban seal! There can be more sources, you can add more via the 'edit sources' button or exclude irrelevant ones. Then save it and see the updated answer.

[jade shale]

Funny bug I found: pressing shift+enter with empty prompt will make the AI load forever

[urban seal]

@covert sun there's no botton called "edit sources" on the ui ,where is it?

[heady plover]

After you’ve made the query , click on the 3 dots button to edit sources

[urban seal]

ok thank you,but it can just change the source ,not follow my site order and i can;t choose percific domain which i wanted

the sources are auto generated not follow my site order

Also how can i shift the limit of words,even in concise answer,it can't answer more ,it;s less than 1000words

[mossy tulip]

will be addressed next week, please stay tuned!

[urban seal]

ok i'll wait for it

It decided to randomly input its search as an answer

[mossy tulip]

sorry , seems like a failed request, try again

[young sparrow]

I tried and it worked, thanks anyway

[radiant kindle]

I have a suspicion that this is what's internally going on between Perplexity and the language model:

Someone asked this question: "Hey, does sound pad have a feature where you can play multiple sounds at once?" What search terms should I use when searching on google?

Here're some search results that came up. Could you answer this question with these information?

Could you give me three potential follow-up questions one could ask?

[young sparrow]

?

[young sparrow]

Oh I get it

[outer viper]

Hello, I have downloaded perplexity 9 days ago after I saw a linkedin post.

I have been using it for the past 9 days quite actively

Yesterday I removed safari from my frequently used applications

And added perplexity instead

I now use perplexity as my main search app

It has been quite interesting. None of the apps that I have tried in the past removed another app that I have been using for years

I also started using the chrome add on today

I recommended the app to 2 of my friends and my aunt who is learning web development. My aunt told me that the app was really useful to her.

This application is something else guys. I do not know what exactly this app will evolve into but as long as you keep this app free and without ads I think this has the highest possibility of completely replacing google search

I still cannot believe how I downloaded this app and how it literally took over every other app that I use for search for the past 10+ years ie google and aafari

Thank you

[mossy tulip]

thank you for your kind words ❤️

[covert sun]

Hi everyone! We appreciate your reports regarding the answer cut-off issue. This should be addressed by now. @keen phoenix, @limpid tree, @radiant kindle, @dusky lark, @slim yacht, would you kindly verify if it's working well for you or let us know if you're still facing the problem?

[radiant kindle]

That's gonna be hard to test! (response cutting off was a small chance anyway; it's hard to verify whether it's fixed for good or not)
Anyways I will report the next cut off I see, if it happens at all

[dusky lark]

Thank you for the fix, but same here, no idea how to reproduce is, but I'll keep my eyes open 🙂

[limpid tree]

Still happening with Greek

[outer viper]

Wow I have made it onto @cunning goblet linkedin !! 👌

[primal wind]

Perplexity is blocking all connections from Private Internet Access VPN servers... Have tried 10 so far. What happened to the captcha prompt?

[mossy tulip]

sorry we had some spam attack yesterday and had to block several ASNs, any way you can use our site without a vpn?

[scarlet lichen]

Congrats on the latest release, just parsing the latest changes now. One change I do not like is having buttons like "View Detailed", "View sources", and "Edit" being icons without labels. I also do not like that the list of sources opens as a modal. The way it was before was better.

[covert sun]

We've tried a bunch of questions in Greek, but don't see it happening. Could you please share more examples of where the cut-off happened?

Hello, Perplexity consistently creates lists incorrectly while explaining programming concepts. I wanted to report this

[stark ingot]

hi all! your sign up/in with google isn't working, it always lags and returns this banner. there are also significant slowness in receiving and clicking the email link when i sign on with email

[wooden narwhal]

Hey @stark ingot! Are you using vpn?

[stark ingot]

nope, i'm not

[wooden narwhal]

And just to confirm, does the email option work despite the lags?

[stark ingot]

yes it does, once i open perplexity in a new tab after clicking the emailed link

[wooden narwhal]

Does the problem persist in an incognito tab/different browser?

[mossy tulip]

yes, we are aware of this bug, need some time to resolve it

[visual zenith]

The logo text doesn't show when in the popular tab

[covert sun]

Thanks for spotting that. We'll fix it.

[stark ingot]

hm good point i am unable to reproduce on any browser rn, but i originally experienced the problem 2-3 times upon account creation and login in safari for both the regular and beta urls

[wooden narwhal]

We have been making a few back and forth changes to spam protection which might have overlapped with your sign in attempts but things should be more stable now. Glad to hear it's resolved but please do reach out if it ever happens again and we'll take a closer look!

[icy goblet]

Please add the ability to adjust text size

And when can I log into my account in the app?

[wild kernel]

the width of the layout is kinda weird, using Edge on Windows 10..

& could probably use some padding 😁

[drifting quail]

Hi!
I think this is not an appropriate answer for my question or perplexity didn't understand what I mean by "range" in date. He gets the same answer if I use "within a specific range"

https://www.perplexity.ai/search/001696f7-b4b0-48b7-a4c1-5c1374c57b5e?s=c

[radiant kindle]

iirc it caches response for similar prompts, even if they are meaningfully changed.

[woeful holly]

will perplexity be available for android in the future?

[knotty berry]

Yes, it is being worked on

Looking forward to it!

We have detected unusual activity coming from your IP address and blocked your request.
If you are using a VPN, please try again without it. For technical support, please contact us at [e-mail]
Been seeing this for a while. I’m sure you’re being spammed, or whatever but I can’t even use a captcha to submit my request. I’m sure you get a lot of abuse from behind VPNs (I’m behind one) but this isn’t a great user experience.

[full venture]

Hi! Sorry about that, thanks for letting us know, will follow up with you and try to resolve.

[lime gate]

Hello team, when I select the "System" option in Appearance, I guess it is actually inheriting the current system theme, but the selection does not reflect as "System". It only takes "Light", or "Dark" value. From a user perspective, it feels like the selection failed and I retried multiple times before realizing it could be a minor bug 😅

[urban gull]

love it

[blazing crag]

Is this your official policy? If so, I guess I’ll remove you as my default search. I’m just one guy and have basically only cost you money, so I’m sure you don’t care but - if I’m going to give up my privacy to interact with an LLM, I’m going to use ChatGPT.

To me, the great thing about perplexity was LLM as a search engine. Admittedly, I don’t know which market you’re going for so… guess it’s not my use case. 🤷‍♂️

@mossy tulip - pls forgive the ping. See above. Can you please confirm this is your go forward policy? Just want to make sure before disconnecting. Thanks.

[radiant kindle]

China:

(China blocked Perplexity and I have to use VPNs to access. My VPN is not blocked yet, but it sucks to know they ban VPNs.)

[worthy meteor]

When searching youtube, it would be better to emphasize the sources and display thumbnails for the videos with the title and option to play inline

[primal wind]

To add to this, turning off VPN for perplexity implies turning it off for everything else -- thats a huge privacy issue. Why cant you filter access by whether someone is registered or not?

[mossy tulip]

hey, sorry this is not our policy, the reason is that we have to block certain ASNs from which we receive a lot of spam traffic, unfortunately it so happened that you might be also using these ASNs. we are trying to figure a better solution where our users can still use VPNs, we definitely are committed to respect users privacy. please give us some time to resolve this issue.

[mossy tulip]

yes, we will have this soon

[blazing crag]

Ok, thank you for responding and good luck dealing with spam.

[viral kraken]

The speaker or microphone in IOS doesn’t understand Spanish. Also, I write in Spanish and the answer is in English.

[radiant kindle]

add "en espanol" in your prompt to make it respond in Spanish

[heady plover]

Would have been great the be one of the firsts that makes autoGPT avabile to anyone by making a compiled gui exe, that would be really innovating. Another thing that could be good is to add reflection in the website, that makes the overall outputs really good (I don't know if it could be implemented). The main issue is that it does not remember well the previous questions and answers.

[radiant kindle]

I know Perplexity is supposed to provide information instead of carry out tasks (and is likely tuned to do so), but uhh, this still looks mildly unsatisfying https://www.perplexity.ai/search/1b346da2-feec-43cf-8ccc-622dafb0ad31?s=c

(asked the AI to roll a dice, and it gave me a few websites where I could do that, instead of giving me a random number)

[wanton forge]

I think it is exactly as it should behave

[half osprey]

hmm, is it really a search engine?

[tacit hedge]

Can you provide the link to that search?
When I get incoherent, in most case I find a solution trying a different way.

[vapid mason]

How do we teach your AI new tricks? Quite a few times now it does not know an answer to something (e.g. whether or not Facebook is a registered Australian business entity) and I can find an authoritative link to the right answer (e.g. the online government business register: https://connectonline.asic.gov.au/RegistrySearch/faces/landing/panelSearch.jspx?searchText=134012543&searchType=OrgAndBusNm&_adf.ctrl-state=k22xxfeee_15 ) ... we need to be able to teach your systems the right answers!!

I thought you were looking for Meta. It's a tricky question, cause in some other articles we read Facebook Australia claimed they don't run any business in Australia. That might have brought confusion to the answers.

[ember wagon]

hi, i love the app, good experience so far. However, it still has a problem with displaying latex, will it be fixed soon?

[fiery sable]

Might be good to add more info about how public or not public the user's account is when sharing threads. Also the eye, can we toggle public private in the future?

[covert sun]

People who you share a thread with, can open it and see only its content and author's username, no more than that. Right, we'll introduce the toggle feature in the future.

[mossy tulip]

it is not implemented yet, mobile app doesn't have accounts yet

[grizzled crest]

Looks like the text assumes that the name of the source is inlined like it used to be. Personally, I like the inlined sources better than just having it as a footnote.
https://www.perplexity.ai/search/0ca292e7-0d83-49f2-86b9-0f8a45738b3e?s=u

[vapid mason]

Still puts the icon over the top of text we need to read on all one-line code responses:

https://www.perplexity.ai/search/1b2d30eb-d9fe-4e3d-b194-25df4034d5f6?s=u

One "quick and dirty" hack to fix that would be to add a space or two onto the end of the output, so we can at least scroll sideways to see the character(s) hidden under that copy icon thing (or maybe make the CSS so it doesn't even show that icon until the mouse hovers over the box in the first place)

[crude bronze]

Using the chrome extension, the summarize function never works. It always gives you this same sort of message. I've tried multiple websites and summarize > with similar results. However, if I type summarize and paste the URL of the page, the summarize function works fine then. Seems like a bug within the chrome extension.

[icy goblet]

Now that you block VPN, I am no longer able to use Perplexity at work. We use VDI here at the office and automatically uses VPN as a result. Can you please fix it so I can continue to use perplexity at work???

I am getting this error frequently when translating an Arabic text:

Query too long, max length: 2048 characters

خَارِجٌ مِنْ سَبِيلٍ مُطْلَقاً، وخُروجُ بَوْلٍ أَوْ غائِطٍ مِنْ باقي البَدَن قَلَّ أَو كَثُرَ أو غيْرِهِما كقيءٍ أَوْ دَمٍ إِن فَحُشَ في نفس كُلِّ أحدٍ بحسبِهِ، وزوالُ عَقْلٍ إِلا يَسيرَ نَوْمٍ مِنْ قائِمٍ أو جَالِسٍ، وغُسْلُ مَيْتٍ أَوْ بعضه، وأَكْلُ لَحْمِ إبلٍ، ولو نيئاً تَعَبداً، فَلاَ نقض ببقيةِ أجزائِها، وشُرْبُ لبنها ومَرَق لَحْمِهَا، وَمَسُّ فَرْجِ آدَمي مُتَّصل أَوْ حلْقة دُبُرِهِ ولو ميتاً بيده لاَ مَسُّ الخِصْيتينِ، ولا محل الفرج البائن، ولمسُ ذَكَر أَوْ أنثى الآخَرَ لِشَهْوَةٍ بِلاَ حائلٍ، وَلَوْ بِزَائِدٍ لزائِدٍ، والردة، وكل ما أوجب غسلا

It doesnt appear to be 2048 chars long, only:
Characters 572 Words 86

[radiant kindle]

my Notepad++ counts 1029 charactersbytes, despite it shows the cursor to be on col 558 when placed on the end of the text, two numbers that don't match up.
edit: it's 558 characters and 1029 bytes, my mistake, see message below

Okay, tested:

• it's not characters, it's bytes, when encoded in UTF-8, and
• it's not 2048, it's 1024.

So I can put 341 Chinese characters in (1023 bytes - each Chinese character is 3 bytes in UTF-8) and it works, add one more (1026 bytes) and it fails

and your text, as far as my text editor is concerned, is 1029 bytes, longer than the limit.

[junior wedge]

so the prompt converts to bytes? but still 1024 is not 2048 ...

[keen phoenix]

would be nice if there were a tweak to set the language of output

[junior wedge]

u can specify so

[vestal rose]

Same here, often the answers are in English but I did question in Italian.
Isn't a real problem for me but would be better if the AI replies in the correct language.
Also sometimes, when I click the "view detailed" button, it switches language to English (previous Italian)

[junior wedge]

@covert sun is it possible to increase the char length? Thy Byte conversion means Arabic/Chinese are reduced to very few chars

[cloud pine]

Considering adding internationalization support? Like setting the language of the answer?

[radiant kindle]

type "in [language]", eg "in spanish" (or your language's equivalent) in the prompt and the AI will (hopefully) respond in that language.
example: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/7097af80-cd6d-46b3-a684-522ca7b3932f?s=c

P.S. May be in your case perplexity thought "на русском" is related to "зачем люди используют 1с" and answered in english, but it is just a suggestion.

[crimson nymph]

You should make a browser called Comet! That would be awesome! I would be something like an AI browser. And you should make this link an invite to use the browser: https://www.perplexity.ai/browser/claim/EVC3DOLF9E

[junior wedge]

so this would require 2 steps actually:

1. thread forking
2. a new thread continuing in your thread section

[covert sun]

Right, you can go up the thread and delete the messages one by one. Got your idea about deleting any answer within a thread. We'll look into this feature

Hello, first of all, I'd like to say this is a wonderful tool, I've been loving it. Congratulations to everyone involved. Still learning the best ways to use it.

[vestal rose]

Thanks! This will provides a lot of cleaning in a thread 😁

[valid shadow]

A happy user. perplexity.ai has won the homepage of my android 🙂

THe only issue I have is, since I am often asking in bulgarian "cyrillic" - the answers come in english, not always but sometimes

and it happens mostly when i do a followup question

when this happens, it seems it looses the context of the thread (i guess due to mixed language output/input)

[velvet plover]

I just joined the waitlist. Did it take long for you to get access?

[dim socket]

Good morning. I'm French and I love Perplexity. However, one reason prevents me from completely switching to it: often, when spoken to in French, the AI responds in English. From an ergonomic point of view, the platform is therefore less easy to use than Bing or Chat GPT but concentrates the best of both worlds. A small fix of the Perplexity app (like a default language setting) and a global translation of the app would be absolutely brilliant. Well done for the work.

I add that the application does not allow the analysis of more complex texts and does not provide an answer while Bing or Chat GPT does. It confines itself to fairly simple questions. For example, when Perplexity is asked to solve a legal problem, the application does not succeed, unlike the other two.

[crimson nymph]

It's not a waitlist to get access. It's just so you get a mail when it's available in the playstore for everyone.

doesnt work that well Oo

[covert sun]

Hey @velvet plover! I think Emil mentioned the homepage of his browser on Android. Cause the Android app is yet to be released. So it's the right time to join the waitlist.

[valid shadow]

Didn't get the app, just set perplexity.ai as the default home page for the chrome browser

[covert sun]

Hey @dim socket! Thanks for your kind words and detailed feedback. The model now understands questions in different languages better, but if so happens that it answers in English, you have an option to edit the last question that got the wrong output and edit your question, adding "réponse en Français" or just "en Français". Try like that and let us know if it helps.

As for the complex questions issue, do you refer to the concise answers? Have you also tried both the detailed option? Now that you also have the enhanced answers option, we'd love to hear if that works better for you. Thanks!

[weary oriole]

Today, i woke up and still have 0 uses. But it says limited free uses PER day. So does that mean it gives you 6 uses per day? If so... I didn't get the 6 uses today. I got it yesterday and used it all. I don't know if I should wait a bit more or not.

[weary oriole]

Do i need to wait until it's maybe 12 pm or 3 pm?

[dusky lark]

would it be possible to keep the previous 3 Related follow-ups? It could simply just delete the recent answers until the point and do the answer to the newly chosen. It would help a lot in researching.

[dusky lark]

I got a bit confused now regarding sharing: the shared link doesn't remember the Concise or Detailed state, and if you choose "View detailed" after you receive a shared link, you will get different detailed results.

So if I share a link and I reference to an information in a detailed block - the other party won't have an idea what I'm referencing to, and even if he changes all states to detailed he most likely won't see the same information as me.

So, how can I handle a situation like this (referencing something in a detailed block)?

[crimson nymph]

Hi @dusky lark, are you sure you're sharing the link with the id and not just the search query.

I can replicate your issue if you ask a question and didn't click on "View detailed" and then share the link. To avoid this issue you could ask a question then click on "View detailed" wait for it to load and then share the link, it should then show the exact same text.

[dusky lark]

This is on my end:

This is the shared link: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/52e969cb-84aa-42cf-b68a-1b315783f2a7?s=c

[crimson nymph]

I see the same text when I click on "view detailed"

[dusky lark]

this is what the other end sees:

[crimson nymph]

By default it shows the "concise" answer to your question. You could mention to the other party they would have to click on the "View detailed" button to get the same text as you. The link you share doesn't save that state. This could maybe be a nice feature to add in the future!

[dusky lark]

I currently have one with 11 blocks. It is really time consuming both for me and the other party to "use the 8th block!", and for me to mention to switch to detailed mode - and for him to do this

And all this won't work if he isn't familiar with PerplexityAI so he will have no idea what is a "block", and how to switch it to detailed state

[crimson nymph]

I understand be sure to write this problem you’re having and what you would like to see instead in #💭│ideas maybe the Perplexity team will be able to add this feature in the future.

[dusky lark]

I just leave it here, they are nice guys, checking this channel too - also too much work to summarize all this 🙂

[remote herald]

Sometimes I want to explore several suggested follow-up questions, but the follow-up questions change when I click on one. Would be nice if the older ones would stay put.

[remote herald]

How does Perplexity decide which sources to display? Take this thread for example (https://www.perplexity.ai/search/816e3f34-ffcc-4184-85e0-3199dab6d9b3?s=c). The sources are about heat pumps. But when I ask Perplexity to write SEO titles instead of meta descriptions, it uses sources about how to write meta titles.

[brisk cedar]

#🎨│dream Is it intentional, that everyone can rate a image?
So not only the creator, but also any other person

[rapid cedar]

In general, I'm enjoying perplexity web app. Two thoughts:

1. Please keep the web app a first class product as I don't have a phone to install "apps", I do run everything in a web browser on a mobile computer.
2. It would be great if you supported actual accounts via username/password instead of "email to receive a link". Having a username/password cuts out an extra step in logging in. I find I rarely login because of this extra step to access my threads. I do login when I want to create a dedicated/longer thread of 10+ actions.

[tidal spade]

It would great for perplexity to be available on poe.com so we bots can be created that allow you to specify the initial prompt similar to chatgpt extensions

[limpid tree]

There is a bug (or missing ui) on the follow up question overlay, when using enhanced answers. Basically there is an option to select what type of follow up answer you want (quick, enhanced) and upon selecting, the enhanced icon stays there.

Take a look

[wooden narwhal]

Should be fixed, thanks for reporting!

[limpid tree]

It is fixed, Thanks!

[sinful glade]

Hi, I am really loving Perplexity, but the thing is it takes time to switch from one thread to another and it just seems like its too many clicks away. Is it possible to add something like a drop down for switching between threads? In that way it would seem easy to switch.

[rare tapir]

Hi, just random feedback. I have been trying out a range of what I call "next-generation search engines"* like Perplexity for the past few weeks with a variety of queries. I have personally found Perplexity to be the best one. It gives better answers than the others 90-95% of the time in my experience. So yeah, I just want want to personally thank and congratulate the team behind it! 🥳 You have done an amazing job! I have recommended Perplexity to many tens of people across my social and work connections and I hope you continue to expand going forward.

• If there is a better term for what Perplexity is, I would like to learn it!

[limpid tree]

OpenAI has improved GPT models and Perplexity is now faster than ever! Even with rare languages!

This now also means that enhanced answers (GPT-4) are answered at a very fast speed.

A few weeks ago, GPT-4 was super slow to answer. Now it's almost as fast as chatgpt was when it got launched.

[sacred tide]

I think the search box for a new search should move down here rather than be up there. It should also expand to fit my long searches rather than be static and small like that

[remote herald]

2 feature requests: 1. a search function, so we can easily search through older threads, 2. a checkbox with check all and uncheck all so we can easily remove multiple threads at once. Now I have to delete them all or one by one. One by one is very time consuming if you have a lot of threads.

[willow sage]

Just a heads up, you have a typosquater in the playstore. If people do not realize you do not have your android app out, they'll be directed to this first search result. It doesn't help that you have links already to the playstore on your webpage without having the actual app.

[versed musk]

Will there be an option to tag favorite threads and to organize them into groups, like bookmarking system works in the browser?

[hoary shuttle]

rule of thumb is not to ask language models to do math 😂

[umbral phoenix]

Love perplexity.ai overall. Both the app and web browser are great and I think the ability to switch between "sources" (e.g., academic, wikipedia) is awesome.

On that, one piece of feedback: for the academic option, it doesn't seem to weight more cited publications or publications in more prestigious journals more heavily. This results in somewhat obscure summaries about the current state of literature based on articles that really barely anyone associates with the literature VS anchoring on the seminal pieces that should be some of the first results returned

[heady plover]

suggestion: add github and stackoverflow to the bar at the top

lile youtube, reddit, wikipedia are

[versed musk]

I guess this is mostly because of the paywall that some of the sites (JSTOR, DeGruyter etc.) have. 😦

[heady plover]

Wow, I’m really impressed by how much Perplexity AI has improved lately. I’ve been using it for months and at first it was kind of unreliable and gave me a lot of wrong information. But as I kept using it every day, I noticed that it was getting better and better. I looked at how Perplexity AI searches for information and it’s amazing how it mimics human browsing behavior on the web. It can search for anything I want and it gives me good relevant results. It’s so cool! I’m very grateful to the developers for creating this awesome tool. It helps me a lot with my learning and personal stuff.

[heady plover]

why does perplexity sometimes not show inline citations ?

[hasty dragon]

Can we have Perplexity AI actually read the contents of the Websites and not just search results? When I give it a Link to summarise. It only summarise search results for the link but not the contents of the websites. Thanks.

[viral crescent]

not sure if this is of any importance to the devs but

i was expecting it to say hi back to me or something, just to experiment, but i instead got a definition of the words "hello perplexity"

its pretty cool but since i didnt type 'definition' idk

[sinful glade]

I am really enjoying perplexity, but I don't understand why, unlike chat GPT why does it not retain information from previous chat and reply with respect to that? Should I be expecting this behaviour? Is the chat always related to the first question prompt that I ask?

[sinful glade]

Exactly! Its taking things too literally, lol.

[dull pagoda]

Is the service down? doesn't work on web and mobile now. The website loads, but can't complete the request. It shows loading state

[hoary shuttle]

yes it's down. I'm having the same problem

[radiant kindle]

OpenAI's ChatGPT is also down.

now we know Perplexity is using OpenAI services...

[dense crest]

so I am not the only person for whom Perplexity is not working

[radiant kindle]

Certainly not!

[mossy tulip]

sorry we are working on resolving the problem

[hoary shuttle]

I think I’d like a feature where I can share an article to perplexity from the share sheet on iPhone

[calm spade]

I just discussed a lot with perplexity. I am a developer, so I asked it many questions about how I can make efficient anticheats, while not impacting too much server performance. I mainly asked questions on how I can detect wallhacks, macros, and how does information of touch work. As I asked questions, the answers started to be less precise and more repetitive. Moreover, it was slowly starting to forget the domain of my questions. I think improving the bot for longer conversations would be a good idea.
(However I love how Perplexity is able to recap the conversation)

[vapid mason]

There is no Toggle, despite what you recently told me in an email: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/160ec70e-32c6-46f0-bd33-ed8f445147a5?s=u

To do Math with language models, you need to install to Wolfram subsystem

[vestal rose]

The toggle is in the right of the search bar, default value is "Quick", click it and you'll see the Enhanced mode

[radiant kindle]

On the web interface, next to the submit button there is a dropdown to choose between Quick and Enhanced.

Not sure if it's available on the mobile app.

Also, uh, the AI itself is not aware of its own interface, unless there is an article on the web about it and said article got provided to the AI for reference

[weary oriole]

I gave Perplexity ai a Test

"Write a poem about love without the letter "a".

Here's what it gave me:

The two poems have the letter "a" in them.

So Perplexity ai failed the test.

That's because it gets those poems from the web.

So, like i said in the #💭│ideas The team should add "real time web data on - off" option

[radiant kindle]

Not exactly. Let me explain (might take a while for me to type if you are reading this in real time)

First, the language model is likely unaware of "what words has the letter a". The language model associates words with their meaning and relation to other words, but isn't aware that the word has the letter a or not - to the model, a word might as well just be a number (that internally represents this word).
You can confirm this by asking OpenAI's ChatGPT to write such a poem - despite lacking internet access, ChatGPT also includes the letter a in its poem.

Second, in your screenshot, Perplexity did not have that little number thing in its response, meaning the language model did not directly pull anything from the web search results given. (At least that's my guess, you can try to confirm it by clicking open the sources and comparing the text)
Perplexity's system will feed the language model web search results whenever there are something to be found, but this doesn't mean the language model will use all the search results it got.

[wooden narwhal]

https://www.perplexity.ai/search/2e0a3b1a-7a48-4b5e-9500-411ae94b16d8?s=c

If we assume "a" and "A" are different, enhanced mode handled it pretty well

[radiant kindle]

se__a__led, he__a__rts, d__a__ys, w__a__ys, __A__nd

[weary oriole]

Actually, i asked GPT 4 to write a poem without the letter "a"

And here's the response :

In the moon's soft glow,
Two souls entwine,
Bound by the threads of time.

Love, like whispers on the wind,
Silent, yet strong,
Fills the void within.

Hearts sync, they beat,
In unison, they sing,
Of the joy, love does bring.

In the depths of night,
Their eyes do meet,
In tender moments, oh so sweet.

Love, the force unseen,
Holds them close, forever bound,
In its gentle, soothing sound.

[radiant kindle]

"hearts"

[weary oriole]

@radiant kindle At least it's one a

Here's the response from GPT 3.5 turbo :

Love, a feeling so pure and true,
Without it, life would be askew.
It brings us joy and happiness,
And fills our hearts with tenderness.

It's like a flame that never dies,
A bond that grows and multiplies.
It's in the laughter and the tears,
And in the moments that we hold dear.

Love is patient, love is kind,
It's in the thoughts that fill our mind.
It's in the touch of a gentle hand,
And in the way we understand.

It's in the sunrise and the sunset,
And in the memories we can't forget.
It's in the way we say goodnight,
And in the way we hold on tight.

Love is a gift that we all share,
A treasure beyond compare.
It's in the way we live our lives,
And in the way we love and thrive.

😂😂😂😂

3.5 absolutely failed

[wooden narwhal]

https://www.perplexity.ai/search/4cf73778-629e-45e0-9d30-b98d279899ad?s=c

Got it from second try

[radiant kindle]

Wow we're flooding the chat with poems lol

ya still have "hearts"

Anyways, I stand my point, GPT isn't programmed nor trained to be aware that a word has "a" or not. Maybe it encountered some training material that give them said knowledge, but in general, probably don't count on them to be reliable on this.

[weary oriole]

@radiant kindle yeah

I think because love = hearts

😂😂

[radiant kindle]

Just to give GPT the benefit of the doubt, maybe they are kinda aware that "hearts" has "a" but the weight of surrounding context (topic = love) overwhelmed the weight to obey the prompt and don't use "a"

idk, who knows how the neurons are wired

[weary oriole]

Yeah, that's what I meant

Well... You can't depend on Ai (Artificial intelligence) in all of the things.

[radiant kindle]

Just to slap them in the face

[weary oriole]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

ChatGPT = sometimes very dumb

[radiant kindle]

Sometimes when AIs do dumb things, we Chinese people jokingly call them "artificial idiots" (人工智障)

[weary oriole]

@radiant kindle 😂😂

Take a look at this :

[radiant kindle]

tho that term is admittedly more commonly used on Kizuna Ai, a "VTuber" character that is an AI in-universe but still acts stupid on screen

[weary oriole]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Also dumb

Let's ask GPT 4

Wow

Here's the response :

No, the word "heart" does not contain the letter "a".

This is the second time

[rapid cedar]

welcome to the world of stochastic parrots

[weary oriole]

The first time :

I said: Does the word "heart" contain the letter "a"?

GPT 4 said : Yes, the word "heart" contains the letter "a".

The second time :

I said: Does "heart" contain the letter "a"?

GPT 4 said : No, the word "heart" does not contain the letter "a".

🤣🤣🤣

Very dumb

If you are on mobile (specifically iOS) and click a perplexity link to login on the browser it opens in the app- it makes the link expire but does not log you in

[covert sun]

Hi, @celest aspen, thanks for sharing! It doesn't log you in on the app cause it's not yet synced with the web version. When you go back to the browser, you'll see you're logged in.

[celest aspen]

I am saying you aren’t logged in on the website either

[covert sun]

Just checked logging in with my Apple ID and email. It redirects to the app where you are not logged in. If you go back to the browser from there, you see the login link.
It's not obvious, but if you open a new tab with Perplexity, you'll see you're logged in. Let me know if it works differently for you.

I don't know what you mean by "tru instances"

Has anybody noticed a bias in their responses? I have been doing quite a bit of political and social research and responses seem to be heavily biased.

[radiant kindle]

I suggest you post the thread links so that the devs can have a look.
Bias can come from both the language model and the search results, so it'd be nice to be able to check where the bias come from and thus potentially be able to address it

Bard vs Perplexity side by side on the prompt "step by step explanation of the derivative of sigmoid"

Hello everyone,
I have been using Bard and Perplexity since the time that Bard rolled out. Perplexity gives better answers to almost all prompts than Bard. The clearest example that demonstrates Perplexity being ahead of Bard are the images above. Perplexity is just way ahead in terms of the ability to do/explain maths.

I like perplexity the most because it is the best Private Tutor at any topic that is ready to answer my questions.

Thank you for this product. I have been using it for the 4th week I think and it has absolutely transformed my life.

My only recommendation would be to not show the animation where the text gets generated after I press the search button. One reason that I prefer Bard at simple questions is that I do not wait for the writing animation. Bard gives the textual information all at once.

Thanks!

[icy goblet]

I’m astounded by the fact that I strongly prefer perplexity over BingChat

[radiant kindle]

Seems like in the "related" section, GPT suggests questions that has already been answered in the actual answer text. I wonder if anything can be done that reduces this happening

I have a serious issue with the captcha system on perplexity ai's website. It is extremely irritating and inconvenient to click it every time I want to access the site. It is a search engine. It should be convenient to open like google or bing.

like I use perplexity as my primary search engine and it is very annoying to first wait for the captcha to load, then click on it and then get the answer.

[vapid mason]

BUG REPORT: Click "new thread" ( a box pops open) start typing, change to another window to copy some text, change back to Perplexity ... and it erases the box and everything we typed in)

Get rid of your "onfocus" or whatever other funky javascript is making that popup box go away - or better still - get rid of that entire modal popup box in the first place. "New Thread" means new - not grey out the stuff we don't want anymore and confuse us all with an entirely different way of inputting our query.

[heady plover]

Perplexity AI is continuously improving, and I have noticed that it lacks a language selector feature. Currently, I have to specify the language I want to use, which can be inconvenient. Therefore, I suggest adding a language selector feature to make it more user-friendly.

[junior wedge]

they don't have the same level of backing to deflect large bot attacks as Google/Bing. I think they did get hit with such an attack recently. It seems reasonable to have it, but I guess maybe being able to login first before asking it Qs would eliminate the captcha issue

[knotty berry]

what kong mentioned (thanks kong!)

we're working on trying to make it a lot less intrusive, but logging in should help with reducing / eliminating seeing the screen

[elder barn]

really?

never helped me though. I am always logged in when I use it

[knotty berry]

hmm ok. like I've noted it's something we're working on improving right now - thank you for your patience

[elder barn]

No worries! I’m still hooked on this awesome product, captcha or not. I just wanted to give you a heads up about this annoying thingy so you can fix it or make it less sucky 😅

[knotty berry]

yeahhhh I know it is frustrating (heck I get hit by it too lol)

it is already in the works though, and hopefully it'll be better soon

hahaha... glad to know this is in your todo list. I’m sure you guys are working hard to make it better.

Perplexity can often tell from other sources whether one website has questionable credibility/reliability. I feel like this information should be included whenever websites like this are used as references for an answer. To take it further maybe credibility scores can be automatically generated

please increase your session when using the app. It is annoying to re-login from time to time. tnx

[crimson nymph]

Hi the app doesn't have a login function yet. If you mean the website, afaik your session will be valid for 30 days before you have to login again to the website. You might have an extension installed that clears the cookies or a browser setting.

I see... I will check on these extensions.

Thanks!

I'd love to use GPT4 more with Perplexity, is there a way to pay for more credits?

[still wolf]

Id like to see Perplexity add the use of photos, using camera or selecting photos in your cameraroll. It could be used to describe the photo displayed or solve a full page of math problems

What is the nasdaq close price at 2022 Jan 3
PERPLEXITY
The Nasdaq close price on January 3, 2022, is $15,644.97

My knowledge tells me $15644.97 is actually the closing price of Dec 31, 2021. The article it quoted also says that.
Would you improve so that it returns I don't know / I am not able to query instead?

@agile ember thanks for the report. I'm tagging 1 of the employees to look into this @covert sun

[agile ember]

You are welcome. Thanks for providing a chatbot with search functionality.
It writes much neat and efficient code compared to offline GPT-4 models. I guess it is due to Perplexity's ability to access stackoverflow.

If this is the proper channel to report bugs, here is another.

The follow-up question never works. I have attempted the same question to all other GPT models. All others are able to understand my poor English.

What I want is indeed very simple, which is array without the single quote / list element is not string.

hi community, I have few options to improve user experience for this service:

• fix/improve sites additions. the way, when u are pasting text it will be the same as at Perplexity in window(mb that's not working only in Notion).
• add copy text button at the bottom after list of sites(where are buttons Accurate, Not Accurate, View Concise, ect.)

what you think?

[versed musk]

I would like to ask if it will be possible to categorize or manage threads or create folders for them like bookmarks in some browsers?

Not at the moment, but it is something that seems useful (I know other peeps have suggested it above.) We'll see what we can do about it!

There should be settings that you can turn on to automatically

1. Increase the amount of sources for a search
2. Increase the amount of detail per post

It's possible to do this right now manually, but it would be nice if we can have this happen all the time.

[gloomy island]

I don’t know if this has been said before but you guys should allow the prompt to be edited after it was sent because sometimes you make a mistake or the answer wasn’t to your liking but you still want to use the previous prompt into the new one etc

[knotty berry]

this is doable on web! (it'll come soon on mobile)

physics calculation discrepancy:

https://www.perplexity.ai/search/78f3e81d-b102-432a-b9b3-16d87e42b8d7?s=u

I do not know the correct answer

[lavish holly]

If you look at sources wolfram did not understand what you were trying to say

[tacit hedge]

Can you please clarify "sources", "wolfram"?

Both answers attempts to calculate kN

In 3.5 answer the result is 3,924 N.

then ...

"To convert newtons to kN, we can divide the force in newtons by 1000. Therefore, the force in kN is 3.924 N / 1000 = 0.003924 kN."

The language model seems to confuse 3,924 N with 3.924 N.

Therefore I find the query worth examining and fine tuning the language model most likely can correct the output.

[trail iris]

Just formulate your question a little bit more clear and Perplexity will answer.
Here is thread with successful answer to your question in a quick mode. (It took three question to get correct answer) https://www.perplexity.ai/search/ead60e24-a299-4813-8653-e11f6ca6f30a?s=u

[elder barn]

Interesting. Why did you use the academic mode for this? Do you often use academic mode for coding related prompts?

[trail iris]

I always use academic mode, but I actually don't know if it is helping, because I haven't used it in normal mode. But I think mostly helped more clear promt.

[marble pasture]

I'm not really a fan of the new layout. I prefer having all of the search engines shown at once because I constantly go back and forth between the various search engines. 😦

[rustic siren]

Is it possible for us to choose which sources we want to use with perplexity to generate targeted prompt responses?

[glass fable]

I think that default behaviour for Perplexity should be answering question in the same language it was written
The thread below is made in incognito mode, so the behaviour cannot be consequence of my user threading history
https://www.perplexity.ai/search/7b415964-4b7b-4038-bab5-0dc9bfd6258b?s=c

[glass fable]

Please fix following bug:

The link in answer text leads to nonexistent widget, because, when clicked, the [1] corresponding to the correct link is appended to wolfram widget link

The corresponding link in sources is exactly the first link without [1] appended (and it provides access to correct widget - although functions displayed in it are not the desired ones, it is unclear to me if it is a bug or not).

https://www.perplexity.ai/search/0393bfc3-ae8f-45b6-bdf2-2f935e9b5895?s=c

[rustic siren]

Is it possible to upload and train perplexity with our own knowledge base so that it can generate more accurate, targeted responses to our prompts?

[knotty berry]

No, not at this time

[gaunt axle]

The only thing that’s keeping me in chatGPT is the fact that I can edit all my prompts, not only the last one. It’s really useful to be in control of the chat history. Also, a toggle to turn on or off internet access would be great. As sometimes you just want GPT to do some text processing without introducing new data.

If you want perplexity to become the main space of LLM use. You need another option that allows users to implement their own data (pdf, twt, url, …) and then this data is processed using langchain so that GPT now has this knowledge. This way people can write in depth about certain topics and not just the general overview that basic internet offers, or what GPT is trained on.

In the future, a business model will be required. Then you can implement ads based on the topic that is answered. And offer premium pass that has no ads and unlimited use (like it is now).

A tip: good tools only have one thing to pay for, as soon as you start implementing many subscription levels, you lose massive amounts of trust.

[rapid cedar]

I discourage any use of ads for any business model. Pay for subscriptions, sure. sharing with openai should be opt-out by default, users can opt-in if they want to for a discount or something like that.

[dusk slate]

Perplexity has a common error that often occurs. When asked something in Spanish, there is a possibility that it will respond in English, including in the detailed view (which occurs more frequently).

Another error that I have noticed is that there are phrases that it underlines, but these sometimes lack meaning. It also often loses the context of the conversation.

[dusky lark]

yeah, I still couldn't figure out what underlines mean - it has different content, also afraid to click it as then I lose my related follow ups, also need to delete if I want to check anything else. A detailed hover could be nice there, no?

[knotty berry]

Underlines are under terms that may be of interest to the user

That said, we will be figuring out a way to preserve related follow ups without making it too busy in the thread

[gaunt axle]

But then you just pay for subscription. It gives people without any money the chance of using their tools too.

[random wing]

is Preplexity doesn't have access to the maps? when is asked about the distance between two points in the certain city it says it doesn't have this info and doesn't refer to any map

[languid sandal]

Hello! Just wanted to share that PerplexityAI is one of the greatest AI things that I use a lot. I really like that you can switch between the default mode and the one that is using GPT-4.
Is very useful and 95% of the time I will just open up the Chrome Extension and search what I need for, saving a lot of time actually.
Just wanted to say thank you for making this!

[teal granite]

@knotty berry Would it be possible in the near future for users to be able to use their own OpenAI API KEY with Perplexity especially when using GPT-4?

[trail iris]

It feature is requested many times, and the Perplexity team added some of the features, so I think they will add it. Although it is unclear when.

[noble aurora]

Hey Perplexity.ai team! 🌟 I've been enjoying the beta testing experience and wanted to suggest a few features that could enhance the platform:

• Permalinks for search types: Create shortcuts like perplexity.ai/news for easy access to specific search categories.
• Multilingual support: Expand the platform's reach by catering to a global audience with multiple language options, giving Perplexity a competitive edge in the long run.
• Custom search prompts: Allow users to define their search context with custom prompts for more tailored results.

These additions could make Perplexity.ai even more powerful and user-friendly. Keep up the great work! 💪

[mossy tulip]

thanks for the suggestions, #1 and #2 are in our pipeline. #3 should be already possible with Copilot, you can type in anything and the AI will figure it out, for example: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/87be3f56-1c86-4f5f-8888-0d3778ac86ff?s=u

[vapid mason]

Not happy with the new co-pilot "feature" - how do we get back to old GTP-4 method? Why did you pick the same branding as github for their programming AI? Before co-pilot, I could use the GPT-4 search when the standard/quick results were sub-par, but now, it's an entirely different product more like AgentGPT - that has it's own very specific use cases, but it's not a sensible alternative or "default" for most questions. The whole "searching the web" idea is horribly flawed: ask anyone - google results these last few years are absolute garbage. If I wanted to use google, I'd put that in my URL - I don't need an AI to fail to find what I'm looking for in google all by itself and waste my time! We're using perplexity because it's better than google: having it just use google is a HUGE downgrade.

https://github.com/features/copilot

You're probably flying into a trademark or similar lawsuit by stealing their branding for an AI product...

[agile ember]

Agreed the quality of new update decreases

[sick vigil]

Its seems to be asking me what I think the answer would be. Whereas the older version didn't have a problem with answering it. Here is the perma link associated https://www.perplexity.ai/search/61328a1e-4c19-445c-8e02-d3e63c31862a?s=u

[lean wagon]

Hi @knotty berry @covert sun @mossy tulip , I am trying to use Copilot, but the generated text contains a couple of "[USER_INPUT]".
What does it mean? Is it an intended behavior, a placeholder for something, or just a bug?

[lean wagon]

@knotty berry @covert sun @mossy tulip Probably better to have both ("old" GPT-4 and Copilot) to fit individual needs.
I just found out that this Copilot works better to generate a longer text by coupling a very specific prompt and the offered follow-up probes.

[low jay]

Totally agree, I would also say that this probably gets better over time as more people use it and it learns what is and isn't working (hopefully).
It's also a larger value prop to have the two options even if just from how it's perceived, and doesn't end up unnecessarily alienating anyone who likes one way over the other. Also, given how much of a competitor this probably is to something like Bing and now Google once they role out there new search AI I Would agree that it's super risky to invite Microsoft(owns GitHub and thus copilot) to attempt to litigate you into obscurity.

[solar raven]

Hello, I haven't been a long time user, just started playing around with this awesome product recently, and I did find it odd that the Bot does not know anything about its own privacy policies and etc. Would be cool if data handling policies, privacy policy and any other docs like ToS were accessible to it or it had some kind of pre programmed response.
https://www.perplexity.ai/search/8f732d38-a79c-4311-b447-810a9a0dee26?s=mn

[lean wagon]

I am seeing a couple of AI tools releasing writing/summarizing assistant with "Copilot" branding.
Not sure if Microsoft/Github has trademarked it.
Without any registered trademark, I guess the "copilot" term will rise and become common enough along with the growth of AI-based assistants.

[trail iris]

Absolutely agree, that old "GPT4" is different from copilot (copilot is like assistant, and enhanced mode is an enhaced mode). So it strange, that copilot replaced it and it will be great if the enhanced mode would be added back.

[low jay]

Let's hope. I mean it is a pretty common term and is more a descriptive term than an actual name imo so I would agree it would be strange to TM without something in front of it like "GitHub" so I definitely see both sides there. There's also the difference in the application of AI and GPT specifically for both GCP and PCP(🤔) so it probably won't be a problem aside from the occasional kinda unwarranted comparison. I still think it's usually better to not give any of the big boys a reason to bully you and you're team at least while you're growing but perplexity seems to be one of the more stable safer bets on software that you can rely on and count on long term in comparison to a lot of other tools that probably won't exist in 5 or 10 years. Which is super important imo. That and they seem to be less inclined to rest on their laurels and commited to adding value for users and are actually open to feedback which is incredibly rare.

[low jay]

Damn that's a good point

[mossy tulip]

thanks for your feedback, we will consider returning an option of just using gpt4. the reason we didn't do it in the first place is two fold:

• first we believe copilot is just much better experience overall and can get use much better result based on our internal evaluation
• second, we considerably improved results of the quick answer to a point where using gpt-4 ads only marginal improvements (again based on our internal evals)

[elder barn]

It still uses bing to search the web, right? or does it use google?

[mossy tulip]

hey, thank you for your detailed feedback! I believe there may be a misunderstanding about how our product functions. In all cases, whether for quick or co-pilot searches, we do utilize the internet to find relevant results. This is, in fact, the primary distinction between our product and ChatGPT, which relies solely on the AI model's output and is therefore prone to inaccuracies or misinformation.

Furthermore, we've considerably improved the performance of the quick search function. At this point, incorporating GPT-4 offers only marginal improvements and, based on our evaluations, doesn't justify the additional latency and cost. This led us to launch Copilot - a tool much more powerful that can fully leverage GPT-4 to research and analyze dozens of web pages, as opposed to just a few.

I hope this helps clarify our decision-making process.

[mossy tulip]

I cannot comment on this unfortunately

[heady plover]

I think it's google

[elder barn]

what makes you think that?

[heady plover]

search operators work better, bing ignores most search operators google doesn't and neither does perplexity, so...

[elder barn]

oh I think google's search api is cheaper now, isn't?

[elder barn]

search operators like "+site: -site:" ?

[heady plover]

yeah

[elder barn]

They work fine on bing as well

:|

[heady plover]

but it maybe just that they have their own version of operators

[elder barn]

I used to use bing because I got fomo as everyone was switching to bing cause of bing ai. Only then I realized how bad bing really was

and I mean it... BAD

[mossy tulip]

hey, we have ToS and Privacy policy here: https://www.perplexity.ai/tos, https://www.perplexity.ai/privacy. or you are referring to something else?

[heady plover]

the exclusion ("-") operator never works

[elder barn]

it does for me :/

[heady plover]

it never has

[elder barn]

-blog?

I use it like -site.com

[heady plover]

yeah that works, but not excluding words

which google supports

[elder barn]

and phind supports that?

[heady plover]

idk, but perplexity definitely does

[elder barn]

how does -word make sense anyways? what if someone actually meant hyphen and then the word?

[heady plover]

that is how it has always been 🤷‍♂️ and it is useful when a word appears in a page that you don't want

I use it like that, -blog and -news so that removes blog and news websites

[elder barn]

huh

bing considered it as hyphen and then the word

which actually makes sense

cause the way in google or in search engines in general you use "" to make sure one particular word exist and not +, there should be another way to eliminate words without - symbol

[heady plover]

why ? there is no need for hyphen

if you want to search a word with hyphen just exclude the hyphen and it'll work fine

[elder barn]

yeah you know that

I didn't

other people probably won't

[heady plover]

well it's not google's fault people don't read docs or help pages ¯_(ツ)_/¯

and it has its use

[elder barn]

yeah I can see its use cases and being useful

[heady plover]

in any case, I think I'm right about this

because I tested with various other google operators and they worked too

shit, I leaked my location lmao

[elder barn]

google's search api is cheaper so yeah it makes sense to use google

[heady plover]

yeah

though, I'm not 100% sure

[hexed jacinth]

Hey wondering if could be possible to have a easy-bib integration for sources; so it would be possible to just pickup the citation directly?

Since at times i do get arxiv papers or reasearch papers but im just envisioning a great system with citation copy integration ??

[mossy tulip]

yeah this is interesting, will take us some time to implement, but it is in our backlog

[chrome nacelle]

Hey guys. Any estimates of when the number of questions in Copilot mode will be increased?

Just five is too little for the end user's need, even if it's just a trial period.

🫤

I would even like to praise the copilot update. The new way he handles data is very well designed, and especially when he asks for additional information and contexts! 👏👏👏

[languid sandal]

Hello! I know that Perplexity can understand and write in various languages. I don't know if this is a bug or not, but sometimes, it will understand what I am asking or searching for, but will still write in english (on both the site and extension)

[crimson nymph]

You can add “in {desired language}” to make it answer in a specific language for now.

[mossy tulip]

we are working hard on increasing our capacity, this just takes some time as demand is high

[languid sandal]

This seems to work! Thank you very much! :D

[knotty berry]

It is a known issue - we're definitely trying to make this a smoother experience as well

[chrome nacelle]

I understand. I really appreciate the efforts and I'm very excited to test the tool's capabilities to the fullest, as I'm always doing this in search of possible bugs and suggestions. 😊

[languid sandal]

If I remember correctly, the older version had a "basic" search and an "advance" one, right? (the one that used gpt4) I think that had more uses than copilot has now (if I am not wrong)
I wished that setting will still be on so we can choose either Copilot or that advanced search.
imo, I see Copilot more of a assistant, helping deciding or planning stuff. Still a very good and helpful feature!

[chrome nacelle]

But Copilot is that "advanced search", but with improvements and more features.

[mossy tulip]

basically the reason we reduced usage from 20 -> 5 is because Copilot uses GPT-4 more heavily (so you can think of 1 usage of copilot to be similar to 4 usages of enhanced search)

[languid sandal]

I know, but in my point of view I saw them differently.
The old version helpful for a more complex search and given results
And Copilot more like an assistant or some kind. I was amazed how in the beta it even made me a site in one go with all the files and code lines lol.

Still is a very good update, not even a dislike about it!

[mossy tulip]

yeah we will think about how to allow more flexibility and control for users, so you can select how you want to use it

[languid sandal]

After all, for e free AI that is so much helpful searching for so many things, this Copilot is a great update.
I am really looking forward to the Andriod version!

[mossy tulip]

android is next week, also if you want to get beta access apply here https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdegf1_BnKKj0qcDP9GdXqvIMhHvQXotV827mfc9ni1kFm1jg/viewform

Glad to hear the Android version is so close!
I already applied as fast as I saw the first announcement! :D

[mossy tulip]

did you get access?

[languid sandal]

As far as I know I did not get any email or such thing for it.

[summer forge]

I really like your search service. I wish you guys provide a paid subscription or usage based payment system so that I can get more copilot credits.

[fierce root]

What happened to the "detailed" portion of the search?

[knotty berry]

searches now return detailed results by default

[chrome nacelle]

@mossy tulip I really liked this Copilot version. I hope we can make greater use of it. Soon I will be making suggestions available.

[lavish holly]

+1 I find copilot quite nice

[stoic sequoia]

Really impressed by copilot - previously only used Perplexity for smaller quick searches but had a painfully boring task to complete today and Perplexity Copilot nailed it.

[trail iris]

Imho it is best to leave old enhanced mode, and, if people wont use it, than remove after that. But it is just imho.

Btw, huge thanks for adding the ability to continue others threads by forking them!

if you're still facing this problem try to ask questions in private tab with the extensions disabled and check if you're still getting this error.

[torn bay]

This is firefox, no extension

[crimson nymph]

I mean your browser extensions you have installed. Try to ask question in a browser or private tab with your browser extensions disabled.

[torn bay]

Oh ok

Seema to be fine there.. wonder how I can check what's breaking it

[crimson nymph]

To debug this you could enable half of the extensions again and see if they're causing any problem, if not enable half of the ones that were still disabled and so on. This kind of problem is most of the time caused by adblockers or extensions that modify parts of websites like tampermonkey etc.

[torn bay]

Ye that's what I'm doing rn

[outer garden]

It would be nice if the chrome extension could analyse the text on a page. I'm trying to use it on a page that needs a login and it seems it can't get behind the login, so I assume it's just passing the url to perplexity and not the actual content that's currently on display?

[torn bay]

I do have a major suspect tho

"I don't care about cookies"

Ok wasn't it

[elder barn]

woah binary search extension hunt 👀

how to delete follow-up question with copilot on?

[lavish holly]

🤷‍♂️

[vital arrow]

it was there in previous version

[vital arrow]

it is there without copilot, im need to delete follow-up with copilot

@mossy tulip What stage is Copilot development at today? Can you share with us or is it confidential? Any predictions of when we will have more shifts released?

[hushed cipher]

can you guys make the website as a pwa app, thanks

also can you please provide an option to hide the side bar

[gaunt axle]

Sometimes perplexity understands MathTex lines, but sometimes not... I think this can be easily fixed.

[gaunt axle]

I think its just a matter of adding inline MathTex support

[mossy tulip]

we do support it, sometimes model fails to output the correct latex code, this almost never happens with copilot though

[icy goblet]

The app has become very bad

[void quest]

whats distribute of linux u use?

oh

thanks

[torn bay]

But I used fo use Arch before

It depends on what you need

@mossy tulip

[mossy tulip]

we are actively working on improving Copilot's capabilities and speed

[chrome nacelle]

Thank's.

[gaunt axle]

Ah makes sense, GPT3.5turbo doesn’t really like to listen, does it? Haha

[icy goblet]

The app has become almost unusable to me. Any feedback I can get?

[crimson nymph]

what is the problem you’re facing?

[icy goblet]

Many of my queries are not loaded. I have to close the app and try again

[crimson nymph]

with the app you mean the ios app or the web app(website)?

[icy goblet]

iOS app

[crimson nymph]

please post pictures of your issues in the #🍏│feedback-ios so the Perplexity team can look at it and help you with the problem.

[icy goblet]

Thanks

[junior wedge]

there are native apps available.

[chrome nacelle]

What do you think about the idea of ​​Perplexity using multiple search engines (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, etc) in order to refine the search for a more accurate answer?

[chrome nacelle]

@mossy tulip

Also, allow input with a greater number of characters, rather than just 2000. Sometimes there are snippets of code, for example, that exceed this character limit and make the research/study experience limited.

[blazing viper]

is this only in english?

[lavish holly]

@mossy tuliphttps://www.perplexity.ai/search/9b23cced-0b8f-45a0-ad91-421bc384d7f7?s=c
😭

poor copilot

[mossy tulip]

yes, turbo is not as reliable as gpt4, but we are trying to make it to behave property 🙂 this latex issue is on our radar and we have some idea how to improve it

[mossy tulip]

are you talking about the iphone app?

[mossy tulip]

ok we will look into it, copilot allows 4k characters btw

[mossy tulip]

ouch, thanks for reporting, we will investigate

[outer garden]

For Co-Pilot it would be nice if it would be easier to understand what the co-pilot is gonna do with the information:
https://www.perplexity.ai/search/e504d562-ada9-43c4-a386-9c8e5209aee1?s=c

So I asked for a stable diffusion prompt, it asked me some questions and then wrote a writing prompt out of it. Due to the fact that perplexity is mixed web and gpt-4 it's often super hard to predict what part it's gonna do. It's a bit like playing the lottery if it's gonna give me a websearch back, write something on it's own, go on a tangent like in this prompt or give me the result I want.

[mossy tulip]

the model decides on itself what is the best action plan, so yes it is a bit unpredictable right now, we will think about how to handle it better

[drifting quail]

I think co-pilot needs to create a list of choices

I really love how copilot asks for additional context if it does not understand the query or did not find suitable answers! Although it did flounder in one of my queries I liked its answers it did give and they were actually correct as it was searching in academic journals! Really loving perplexity so far because of this

[mossy tulip]

thanks, we will look into it

[chrome nacelle]

Perfect. What do you think about the idea of ​​Perplexity using multiple search engines (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, etc) in order to refine the search for a more accurate answer? Or does he already do that?

[vestal rose]

Applied 😬

[vocal vortex]

can you include Twitter since you have reddit on this list 🙂

[nova glacier]

Hey guys, is it possible that now I can't get aswers in Spanish? Even if I put that in the prompt. Regarding copilot, of course.

[heady plover]

hello, I have one suggestion about the threads: I think it would be great if we could rename the name of the thread, for finding the thread we need more easily, can you do that please? thank you in advance! great work so far, I began using this tool more often than Google now

good idea, will add to our todo

Perplexity has trouble with formatting answer if query has integers surrounded by square brackets

You may also notice that the answer is incorrect, but thats not the issue id like to point out

[lavish holly]

have u tried on copilot

[sacred tide]

The iOS app isn’t worth using. Since I can’t log in and check my old threads, pass off searching between my laptop and phone, it’s simply not as useful as the web app. I still use Perplexity a lot, don’t get me wrong, but I think the web experience on iPhone isn’t flagship tier. The app needs to catch up with the web app. Perplexity is great

[junior wedge]

are you finding inaccurate results? Using Bing now would be circular as Bing and other search engines are all (kind of) shifting to AI-based search

[blazing crag]

Can’t seem to get past the cloudflare “verify you’re human” check. Are you all taking your service down for VPN users again?

Perplexity isn’t accessible at all, at this time

[covert sun]

Hey @blazing crag. It should be working fine now. Please let us know if you're facing any issues

[blazing crag]

Nope. Still not working. I click the checkbox, it stops to think for a second, then the box reappears unchecked.

No option for captcha at all, curiously enough.

[crimson nymph]

Hi @blazing crag what vpn provider do you use?

[jade river]

How can I use Bing on IOS?

[dusky lark]

do you have adblockers? many times they block all kinds of non ad scripts too

[solid mirage]

I love this fucking web

[outer garden]

Ok so I'm gonna be a bit nit-picky about the new copy-paste function. It's kinda great but it's really terrible for discord. Since will embed all the links provided in the copy-paste function. If I copy paste a search result with 3 sources I'll get the lengthy text that was generated first and then and then 4 embedds in a row with the 3 links and at the end the render of the perplexity share link. I know in discord you can prevent loading embeds by <> them. But I guess that breaks the formatting for everything else.

[jade river]

Should add a prefix for this bot on discord

[junior wedge]

I don't know, I don't use Bing at all

[jade river]

Just realized Bing is bad

I just want a gpt with internet connection, or knowledge over 2021

Perplexity is more like Bing,

[covert sun]

Thanks for the detailed feedback about the new feature! We'll see how it can be improved.

[lofty silo]

@covert sun Hi Alex, not sure if you can help me. I've been using perplexity on my Android for about a week now, Which I was pretty delighted about. But all of a sudden today, The perplexity app got completely swapped out with an entirely different app called Angus AI. No warning. It's another AI app but has an extortionate price attached to it. Do you know anything about this?

@mossy tulip @covert sun Hi Denis, not sure if you can help me. I've been using perplexity on my Android for about a week now, Which I was pretty delighted about.

[covert sun]

Hi @lofty silo! The app that is available on Play Store right now is not the official app. No surprise things like you described can happen. You can report that one and wait for our official app release

[lavish holly]

@covert sun Is there a way to autofill copilot's suggestions instead of having to type it out?

[covert sun]

Hey @lavish holly! Sorry, no autofill for now, but we'll look into it.

[blazing crag]

I’m able to access the website again. I didn’t change anything but it’s accessible again. Not sure if anyone here fixed it or if cloudflare was being difficult for you all, without your knowledge.

Everything is working again. For now.

cc: @crimson nymph

[crimson nymph]

probably vpn server that was blocked by cf. I have it sometimes too on some of the server of the vpn provider. when I switch server to other server it's fixed

[blazing crag]

Yeah I switched a few servers and was always blocked.

I’m sure I could’ve found one somewhere that wasn’t blocked but that’s kind of a pain to do because I never know how long it’ll take to find a good server or how well that server will perform.

Must’ve been a dDOS or some kind of attack emanating from the VPN provider - I’m guessing.

[sick vigil]

Any possibility of adding back the old enhanced? Is that something you're considering, or are you deciding to stick with the co-pilot for the foreseeable?

[lofty silo]

@covert sun wow it was convincing... It had all my threads.. i could use copilot... Xid the basically just skin the website and pass it of as an app?

[crimson nymph]

It was rendering the webpage of perplexity.ai inside the app. That is why it had all the features of the website. and then added some google ads to make money off of it

[quick plume]

One thing I've noticed is it's not possible to disable the copilot toggle when starting a new thread from a thread that used the copilot, not a huge inconvinience but figured it was worth mentioning 😃

[lavish holly]

😂 why doesn't it list what wolfram outputs properly? prioritizes its incorrect logic

[formal fiber]

Hi

[mossy tulip]

good idea

[mossy tulip]

yes it will be an option soon

[ornate spindle]

hey, just wanted to let you know in the about page https://www.perplexity.ai/about, when you click on some of the people on the team you aren't redirected to the proper search page.

[knotty berry]

It's known! thanks for the heads up though!

[barren lake]

I am basically a power user now I think, I cannot stress enough how wonderful this app is

On a survey I took I recommended that you guys add buttons on top of the search bar where you can select prompt templates based off an assigned name. For example, template name: summary Prompt: Summarize the article linked here {{link}} Keep in mind these ideas as you write the summary {{notes}} which pops up two input fields where you could fill in the variables link and notes respectively

[outer garden]

I'm not fully convinced by the popular threads. Like recently one was "healthy restaurants in SF", I live in Europe... maybe vaguely base it on location data?

[barren lake]

Yes popular threads don't seem that good, I think it should only display the top rated threads this month. There could be a separate more wild discovery section

[mossy tulip]

popular now are in a very early stage, will get personalized over time

[native trail]

Hey I'm new here, this app is the best AI app ever, better than chatgpt and all the others I've tested

[outer garden]

I feel stupid, I only found out today that you can remove sources you don't want. Which makes it even more amazing than I initially thought 😄

[native trail]

I didn't know about that I'm just discovering it

I've been using it since yesterday but I love it, I definitely see this replacing 50% of my Google searches

At least the knowledge searches

[outer garden]

Another thing would be cool is that you could limit the age of articles to be considered. I did some research on a Microsoft Teams error and it considered old articles from 2-3 years ago. It would be nice if you could limit the sources to a certain maximum age.

[lean wagon]

Probably consider adding an optional "country" input in user's profile. That may also help.
I personally do not prefer if PerplexityAI takes my location data using web trackers.

[glacial granite]

Hey @lean wagon! You can use the bot in the #🔎│ask channel. Tag @ PerplexityAI and ask your questions.

[keen phoenix]

Here perplexity just did a blatant blunder, he assures me that in the first cycle the k value represents keys, not values, however this is not true
https://www.perplexity.ai/search/b980a492-a9c9-4e42-be5a-14b4cc24ac70?s=c

maybe he got perplexed because I named it k, but as it is well known the second value in a pair always represents values

[dusky lark]

Sometimes I run into a problem when example a book titled "SQL techniques for system developers" is in the answer and "SQL techniques" is underlined, if I click on it, I get a definition of "SQL". I still don't know how underlines could be better but at least for now could give a hint regarding what will it do?

I really don't want to try them out, because I lose the related follow ups, and most likely remove that answer

[outer garden]

About underlines: When do they appear? I sometimes got a text with like 3 products and one of them is underlined. It seems quite inconsistent in general when something is underlined. I love the basic idea of it though. I often click on them.

[quick plume]

How did the old enhanced work? I joined too late to try it

But now I'm very curious

Feel free to reply in #💬│general instead, probably better than here

[sick vigil]

you had 20 gpt-4 style questions you could ask on a 4 hour sliding window like it is now. Though I felt the accuracy on the old enhanced was much more confident then the co-pilot is now

[quick plume]

That sounds pretty sweet ngl

[sick vigil]

ik the closest I can get to the accuracy I was experiencing with the old enhanced is Bard, but Bard is not as accurate as Perplexity's enhanced

[junior wedge]

San Francisco (and Silicon Valley) is where all this fancy tech is built. It's biased towards nerds 😛

[outer garden]

but then there's a contradiction with the healthy food

[junior wedge]

I was just kidding in case it seems otherwise 😄

[icy goblet]

Started using the new Search Generative Experience on Google. So far so good. Perplexity needs to keep innovating!

[glass heart]

Can we have the ability to update/edit our question like chatgpt?

[sturdy prairie]

Hi

[crimson nymph]

Hi this is already implemented

[velvet stag]

It would be nice to be able to view our deleted threads

[solid hemlock]

Here's a very half-baked idea. For the past few years I've curated RSS feeds for multiple Slack channels, e.g. related to technical leadership, product management, speech recognition, C++, Python, and several others. I'm thinking about how Perplexity isn't that far off from being able to create a distinct 'persona' for each of these channels (or perhaps just the group of RSS feeds behind of them). E.g. what if I could turn my group of leadership RSS feeds into a leadership coach? Does this make any sense?

[covert sun]

Thanks for the suggestion @velvet stag, but I assume if users delete threads, they don't want to have that info saved anymore, so that should be erased and not accessible in any way.

[velvet stag]

but what if they sometimes want to reuse that information or delete it by mistake? (i did that and i had to use it.

[heady plover]

so you basically want something like a recycle bin ?

[velvet stag]

yes. and it would be nice.

not only for research but also if you wnat to read about something you searched on a long time ago and thought you had it with you, but don't

[lavish holly]

folder system for threads would be nice

[glass heart]

I don't see that option. Just asked it a question and that's what it shows. v1.5.0 on iOS

[crimson nymph]

that feature is currently only on the web version of Perplexity

[primal violet]

There should be an option to reset thread which should not open pop up and instead just reset the thread (Which I can do by clicking on logo icon)

[vestal rose]

Still replies in English quite often 😶
Every time there is one or more English words in my question, maybe this could be the problem

[mossy tulip]

we will add an option soon where you can specify your default language

[solar raven]

Every time I use the app, I get blown away by something :D Thank you for the good work 🙏 I hope some paid option is coming soon, just take my money already 😂

[proud spire]

Hey my favorite search engine.

I love perplexity and it's helped me so much.
All new features you added were fantastic so far. However, I am not a great fan of co-pilot. I guess it's also prompt driven in the back and it gets some stuff annoyingly wrong when it asks for clarifications. It makes everything slightly clumsier than when I had to clarify things myself before imho.
Thanks for providing such a great tool.

An option to choose between letting the gpt suggest clarifications and just clarifying yourself would be nice.

[mossy tulip]

thanks for the feedback we will look into improving follow ups for copilot

[trail iris]

You can also and [in Italian] in the end of your promt for now (although it is hard to always do it every time you start a new thread).

[wintry acorn]

I have the issue too

[lavish holly]

can't access my threads 💀

how to fix

[swift quarry]

Does anybody know how to make perplexity continue if the answer reached maximum keywords?

[lavish holly]

@mossy tulip do you know why this is happening

[crimson nymph]

I think they made a mistake in the code. It's not just you with the problem.

[lavish holly]

Oh ok

[covert sun]

Hi @lavish holly! Sorry for the late response. This should be already fixed. Could you please check and confirm that it works fine.

[lavish holly]

Yep I noticed it got fixed 👌

[mossy tulip]

sorry about that, was a bad code push

[lavish holly]

I think it'd be nice if this left column had a button to hide/minimize it so there's more space to display text

date column seems a little cramped

[pearl wraith]

Perplexity still gets simple math questions incorrect for some reason even when using Wolfram alpha, I asked it to calculate the mean and median of a set of 16 numbers and it didn't get it correct, when I plugged in the same question to Wolfram alpha it got it right. Why?

[lavish holly]

on regular or copilot?

[pearl wraith]

@lavish holly For me regular, I heard copilot is a similar deal

[lavish holly]

in my experience, I sometimes have what you mentioned happen where wolfram outputs the correct answer but perplexity uses a different process and gives a wrong answer instead of prioritizing wolfram's output

but oftentimes I find that copilot gets the concepts/formulas right, but the basic math is incorrect

[pearl wraith]

Weird, hope it gets better

[lavish holly]

I hope so too, but it's already way better than other AI by being able to get the right steps (which I found others struggle with)

though I'm not sure how gpt 4 with wolfram plugin is

[dusky lark]

will that be a search in other language and translate in back to my language?

[hollow dome]

How does the last paragraph pertain with the rest of the answer?

[hollow dome]

Clearly, this is some sort of misinterpretation

[vapid mason]

Your "share" option is not useful. It always points to the start of a thread, when almost always we're going to want the person we shared with to read the END of the thread (last question/answer).

[covert sun]

It's a bug, @hollow dome. Thanks for reporting.

[junior wedge]

what does link3 point to?

[covert sun]

Thanks for the feedback, @vapid mason! We've had the thread sharing opening with the last questions/answers some time ago, but switched to the first ones as starting there users can see what questions brought you to the last one.
As for the single answer sharing, isn't the 'copy' button implemented recently more useful for that?

[vapid mason]

@covert sun "copy" does not suit many things (twitter, discord with formatting, emails when you don't want to pollute the train-of-thought etc). Might I suggest you add one more "share" icon immediately beside the copy icon? This would allow us to share the thread, with an appropriate #anchor to jump to the specific thing we wanted to share (usually will be the last one). From YOUR point of view - you should be doing this as a first-resort: it is a better business model to drive new users to your site so they can experience your awesomeness, than using "copy" which means that potential new users never have any reason to visit your site in the first place.

[covert sun]

We want to make it easy and convenient for users to explore and share, so we add all those buttons and ways to share and we'll look into the ways you suggested for sure, as well. Thank you!

[lavish holly]

speaking of share

when i have my window up in split screen

[brittle basin]

Have you guys tested the Claude model from Antrophic? It has performance like ChatGPT, but is faster and has a 100k context window.

[lavish holly]

I tried it out for a bit for free trial but I didn't test out its capabilities against gpt 4

[covert sun]

@brittle basin please use the channels appropriately. --> #📙│rules

[brittle basin]

ChatGPT is GPT 3.5

[lavish holly]

Ik I'm saying I didn't get the chance to test its capabilities against gpt 4

[covert sun]

@lavish holly, @brittle basin this channel is for feedback. Plz, move the discussion to #💬│general

[lavish holly]

👌

I remember I tried to ask something with copilot mode from this screen and I think I somehow got the response in normal mode

but when i went to my threads i saw a duplicate thread with copilot mode on

[mossy tulip]

I think it is inferior to gpt-4

[lavish holly]

I see, that kinda makes sense. The one thing I did mainly use it for was translation of Chinese into English and gpt-4 was definitely way better in that regard than Claude

[cedar barn]

Could you increase the number of Copilot uses in the future? Currently, Copilot only has 5 uses every four hours, which is not enough for most tasks.

[lavish holly]

They mentioned that they will increase uses dw be patient

I also want to mention just how GOATED perplexity is. I copy pasted a sizeable set of directions to carry out for a Word document, and I asked it to tell me how to do the tasks and where to find the sections/tools needed. Dope

[proven isle]

https://www.perplexity.ai/search/0a9428f2-8bb1-4d90-9839-847932a1c379?s=c

Is there a formula or different way as to how I should make Perplexity AI pretend to be something?

This prompt worked with the regular ChatGPT website

[proven isle]

How come Perplexity cannot do this yet ChatGPT can?

[glass fable]

https://www.perplexity.ai/search/f4d07e86-e6aa-4545-a0be-d7deda085317?s=c

In this query, Perplexity gives somewhat tied to the topic as answer (fastargs is a Python module, yet the provided 3 proposals dont work). And then, it gives a completely unrelated "Here's an example of how to use std::sort() to sort a std::vector in C++:" with code and explanation
I think the std::sort() part should be seen as a bug and must not be in the answer, although I have no idea what might have caused such behaviour.

[heady plover]

I just got this

the suggestions are completely unrelated

[mossy tulip]

thanks will investigate

[spare sable]

When I use copilot and it asks me a question it uses 2 copilots even if I dont anwser anything; This does not always happen but is pretty common non the less

[mossy tulip]

hm it shouldn't happen, will investigate

[lavish holly]

On occasion I do get multi-use bugs

[covert sun]

Hi @heady plover! I'm trying to repro this, could you share a permalink to this issue you've got.

[heady plover]

can I DM you ?

I can't reproduce it either, it happened only once

but I think this isn't the first time

I've seen it before

[covert sun]

Sure!

[strange mango]

Using perplexity for the past 6 months or so (December 28 2022 specifically), also trying it on ios I just feel so awkward with some response, particularly on the category of conversation, try to make perplexity build a conversation plis

it just feels awkward when i say hi it gives me the meaning and origin 😭

[upper basin]

When writing in another language it should respond in that language and not English... Pretty annoying

[mossy tulip]

we will address this soon, for now you can specify which language you want your answer to be (for example append "respond in French" at the end of the query)

[vapid mason]

Something weird with the Android App: I can say "OK Google" followed by "Open XXX" for any of my apps (Signal, Gmail, Beem, Outlook, etc etc) - EXCEPT Perplexity. Every time I say "Open Perplexity", it says "here are some results from the web" and does not open the app. Does anyone else have the same problem? Also - it would be better if we could easily use our voice to ask questions when in the app, and have the answers read out to us - there's no point installing an app when it does nothing different to the website!

@trail iris that's not a bug - that's how LLM's work. It's called "embedding space" - the context of your question, including everything in related threads that took place beforehand, determine how the language model is going to respond, plus, a certain amount of randomness is always injected (called "temperature") because it was found that without the random, it doesn't work properly (weird but true).

[chilly valley]

Please include timestamps for when these articles were published. Makes it easy to see if the articles are still relevant or if their old news.

[trail iris]

Yeah, thanks I know. But imho minimizing amount of hallucinations is one of the main priorities, so those situation should be bugreported.

[uncut bison]

Suggestion for a small, but helpful, change. I think it would apply to web and mobile. When copilot suggests some possible follow on questions, it would be great if those questions remained available. Right now if you pick one follow on question, the other suggestions disappear. My manual workaround is to just copy/paste the questions into notepad, but it would be nice if they just remained in the chat flow.

[chrome nacelle]

Hey guys. What are the updates on Perplexity? Any new topics under discussion?

[spare sable]

As cool as Perplexity pro has been, I think claiming its a "Pro Discord Community" is a bit misleading considering anybody can join without bieng a subscriber. Additionally there is no trial for monthly subscibtion, which is kinda sad

[subtle plaza]

@spare sable there's a private channel for Pro users. You should see a link in your email after you subscribe. There's also a link in your settings after you subscribe.

[spare sable]

The link in settings after subscribtion leads to this server, and I have not recived any emails from perplexity. I subscribed almost half and hour ago so not sure if its just a delay, or if there is some larger issue

[subtle plaza]

Will look into it!

[spare sable]

Just to double check, this is the right button?

[zealous arch]

I have been trying to ask some questions to perplexity however, all I'm getting is , it's not being able to process the question and then it's saying trying again later with some reference code.

[mossy tulip]

yes this should be the button

does it work for you?

[spare sable]

Yes, I think the roles just took some time to register or something, but I see the channels now. Thank you for helping me

[dire plank]

I think the PRO plan price of $20/month is a bit high. If it was $10, with yearly $100 and then the 10% discount for community members, I'd subscribe straight away...

https://beta.perplexity.ai

[lavish holly]

5 per 4 hours

[elder barn]

me too but a lot of people are saying that it is worth it 🤷‍♂️

[drifting quail]

Have the same issue. The link is redirecting me to welcome channel, but don't have any "pro" channels and email messages

[trail iris]

According to the announcement channel, discount is $10, so the total price should be $20 - $10 = $10, what is almost the price you suggested. (correct me, if I'm wrong)

[drifting quail]

I think this price is ok, because you get a powerful and fast research tool for 100 uses per 4 hours, and that's more than ChatGPT has. Also, 1 use of Copilot can cause multiple requests to ChatGPT4, so it looks like we're getting ~200 uses of ChatGPT4 every 4 hours. And this is just the beginning, because the team is preparing new features for us

[dire plank]

Well, $200/year minus $10 is still $190/year 🙂
It's not that we'd get $10 discount every month.

[weak yarrow]

Same problem here, I don't know what would happen if I leave the server and joined through the button on that page though. Perhaps it would work that way

Also agreed, the pricing is very reasonable considering that ChatGPT's GPT-4 is only 25 every 3 hours in comparison for virtually the same price. While Perplexity's Pro is at least 100 every 4 hours but realistically more if you consider the background work it also does I imagine with copilot enabled. I forgot to apply the $10 discount code to my yearly trial but I don't mind, it's worth every cent 👍

Only one thing I'd like to mention though, perhaps the web UI could show how long it is until the 'up to 100' uses resets?

[slim gate]

Same problem here, I have registered for Pro, but when I try to join the Discord from the settings, I am directed to this Discord.
How can I join the Pro Discord? Do I get invited to a new channel?

[drifting quail]

Infinite "Wrapping up". Before it, I get "Error in processing query..."
https://www.perplexity.ai/search/c4490c40-140e-4ed3-8fb1-9892ffbc7874?s=c

[mossy tulip]

thanks for the report, investigating

[patent granite]

How much longer is the $10 discount code valid for?

[little wadi]

subscribed to pro and in settings (on the web) I select 'GPT-4 Always' for AI Models but as soon as I refresh the page it defaults back to Copilot Only

[mossy tulip]

fixing

[covert sun]

Hey @slim gate! Fixed that for you, sorry for the inconvenience, you should be able to use Pro channels, too.

Sorry everyone, if you get any issues joining Pro support channels, please DM me, I'll add you.

[polar shuttle]

I don't think this consider summary:

[heady plover]

are you guys gonna bring back the detailed option?

just curiouse

[mossy tulip]

the default answer is detailed right now

[spare sable]

Why not introduce a public roadmap for features, as even with the constant dev contact we as users feel completely in the dark about what features are going to be releasing when. And while I understand that some features may be secret, but for the majority of features, you could add at least a simple roadmap like:
Jun 3 - this feature
Jun 4 - other feature
Jun 10 - third feature

Or if a date is unpredictable at least a list of things bieng worked on

[heady plover]

you sure because every-time i type in a question the answer is always less then a sentence i only ever get detailed answers when it is the answer of the first question

[mossy tulip]

the follow up answers tend to be shorter because we want them to minimize the amount of repetitive information. could you share some examples where you think we should be showing more detailed answers for follow up

[heady plover]

well it would have been better if you still had the "detailed" option though

just saying i really liked the feature

but

give me a sec

[mossy tulip]

we will try to be better at it but unfortunately we often can't be open about it as we are operating in a very competitive environment and don't want to share our novel ideas publicly

[heady plover]

https://beta.perplexity.ai/search/05a79952-cc9c-4701-9453-6fa075a7af0a

these are one of my threads i notices the answers became less detailed after my first question

[mossy tulip]

I understand, our intention is to provide the best possible answer and to minimize you effort to do an extra click

[heady plover]

well yes to be consistent in terms of the level of information with the follow up questions or if you cant do that you could bring back the Detailed button

[mossy tulip]

thanks, we will investigate this

[heady plover]

ok thank you

but other then that i really like the chatbot and how it gives sources to answers too

[mossy tulip]

there should be a way to satisfy both here

[heady plover]

that gives it a greater advantage then ChatGPT that doesn't release any sources

and I like the News feature too

and how I can keep in touch with present news and things going on today aswell

[mossy tulip]

thanks for the feedback btw, it is always nice to see when we are missing something

[mossy tulip]

should be improved now, some of your queries
https://www.perplexity.ai/search/66d6b870-d9d4-4423-8e25-9ba10fba806a?s=u

[heady plover]

question wolfram alpha is for math?

and that only? because i was just wondering what it was and what it does exactly

[mossy tulip]

yes, it should enhance AI's ability to answer math questions

[heady plover]

ohh

interesting

yea its really good at math

[wooden minnow]

The view count on all my shared conversations has been reset to 1. Is that a known issue? I don't think I did anything to cause it.

[lavish holly]

And some chemistry stuff that involves numbers

[drifting quail]

One more example https://beta.perplexity.ai/search/7923b567-388f-4972-b9a1-3654bcb19155

[heady plover]

would it be possible to get the search query when perplexity searches for something ?

like copilot but for normal mode too

it would be useful for when perplexity misinterprets the question

[torpid ravine]

How do I sign in on the Android app? The only option I see is to sign in with Google, and when I click that it gives me an error every time. (I created a gmail account just to sign up with, as I think it's an absolutely horrible idea to tie signing into any third party app with another, especially Google.)

[subtle plaza]

@torpid ravine Don't worry we are adding the email sign in to the app in the next release!

[torpid ravine]

This is intentional that there's a sign up screen that doesn't work?

[heady plover]

why would it be intentional lol

[mossy tulip]

could you please tell what is not working for you? is google sing up not working?

[junior wedge]

looks like he just doesn't like the idea of using Google for sign-up (Google is notorious and it would be near impossible to use it with a VPN)

[lavish holly]

seeing this issue when trying to shape queries around a specified site

ran into this when i structured it around example from #💗│sharing with an added request to analyze the quotes after the table or include an analysis column

[vapid mason]

All the references for the last answer (about XFS) are wrong (they're the same at the previous references, which are for a different file system ZFS): https://www.perplexity.ai/search/6574228c-cbd9-4274-9e12-3e31dd4806a2?s=u

The second answer is also wrong in that same thread - in the forum post referenced, the admin answered "yes" (he's using it), which does NOT mean "yes", it's working. If you read the forum answer - it was a disaster, but Perplexity is quoting it wrong as a "Pro" when it's not - it's a "Con".

If you've got logic someplace that tries to work out if sentiment is "positive" or "negative" - the way that admin answered is being misinterpreted.

[outer viper]

Hello Everyone,
When I ask Perplexity Maths questions it gives me these latex variable names while writing the answer. Can we please fix this?

https://www.perplexity.ai/search/847c6e56-fd1a-4742-909e-968a6169dd69?s=c

The issue also exists on Copilot and the regular search.

[outer garden]

As an AI language model, I cannot identify any grammatical errors made by Superman in the provided chat. However, there are some typos and informal language used, which may not be considered grammatical errors in a casual conversation. If you have any specific concerns or questions regarding grammar, feel free to provide more details, and I will try my best to assist you. Gave it chat. It's kinda annoying that it refuses to proof read the chat. As a langauge model it surely knows grammar...

[mossy tulip]

yes, we are working on it

[mossy tulip]

could you share your thread?

[outer garden]

can I share it in DM? since it's like not public chat.

[mossy tulip]

yes please

[dusk slate]

https://www.perplexity.ai/search/91a2f80a-ceb6-4e5b-9cb9-25ab955eeead?s=u

When I translate this sentence from Spanish to English, it doesn't work. I tried doing it the other way around, and it didn't work either. Even in Copilot, it doesn't do it. I asked it to use sources written in Spanish, but it searched in English.

[heady plover]

did you try searching in spanish ?

[dusk slate]

What I'm looking for is for it to be able to search for sources in another language but keep the language I'm speaking to it in.

In my case, it is a request that is important, especially in academic articles.

[heady plover]

oh yeah, perplexity doesn't do that yet

for now you can just add "in spanish" at the end of the question then copy and paste it

and tell it to translate

but yeah they said they're going to add the ability to search in other languages

[dusk slate]

I will be very excited when I am able to do it. Knowledge has to break the barriers of language.

Above all, I feel that perplexity will grow even more by satisfying a need in the academic sphere.

And I base this on my perception that people generally only need a basic version of ChatGPT to answer a few simple things to have fun for a few minutes, but those who use it the most are for learning purposes, they need those data to be verified.

[heady plover]

what does the Academic sector of perplexity do? like what is its main function or what it is best at doing.?

[elder barn]

is the model hallucinating here?

[mossy tulip]

yes, it is, will look into it

[polar shuttle]

I think i really like this since it is first time I come across with Perplexity provide images in its answer

[rapid cedar]

Why can't I paste a link to code and get an answer to "what does this code do?" for example, https://www.perplexity.ai/search/4a1a4c55-01cb-465a-a20e-05bde5300c28

if i copy/paste the code into the question, it works fine

assuming the code is small enough to fit into the limits of the text box

[mossy tulip]

there are certain limitations accessing urls, especially from github, we will try to improve this so this usecase works

[rapid cedar]

i sort of assumed the bot/code can't figure out the html from the code, so i gave it the raw code to help it along

but i also assume it can't handle anything more than a few functions

I know what that code does, but i wanted to see if the LLM could make understanding quicker or more clear

[mossy tulip]

are you running into the input length limitation?

[heady plover]

It's hard to enter code blocks as they look like this. The response supports code blocks, but not the input. So, I would suggest having a markdown input box like Discord. Basically what I'm saying is that if there is markdown output, there should be markdown input. I would also add a tooltip like discord has.

[heady plover]

What if the raw githubusercontent URL was inserted?

[mossy tulip]

good idea, we can add this

[heady plover]

Thanks, also I think the way the input looks it is way too casual and mobile-oriented. The rounded corners are excessive so it looks more like a chat app.

[heady plover]

Just switched to Pro. For me personally, Perplexity is quite addictive - I spent many hours a day researching various topics and in general searching for stuff all the time, and with Perplexity and its wonderful Copilot this feels almost perplexing how much it speeds up my workflow! Keep up the awesome work devs!

[lavish holly]

https://www.perplexity.ai/search/787eb68c-5542-4ff5-9a39-82475451daa5?s=c

prompts me how long i want essays but it doesn't follow that too well 😂

[mossy tulip]

thanks!

interesting, AI models currently not very good at following instructions to specify output lenghts, it is one of the limitations of transformers

[heady plover]

I copy-pasted the essay and my text processor says it is 526 words long - I assume the OP meant 500 words as well, so the final result is well within 10% margin, for me good enough 🙂

[lavish holly]

Yeah this one was good, but I'm not sure if it was a fluke or not because I had tried another asking for 430 and it gave me 550

[spare sable]

Here is a sketch I drew detailing a couple of re-designs which (in my opinion) would make perplexity significantly better with only tiny redesigns.

If your wondering why is it necessary to move the writing mode to the main UI, the reason is that not only does it not make sence for writing mode to be in a tab for (mostly) filters, but also this would make it easier to switch on and off!

[radiant kindle]

I wonder if it's possible and if it's helpful, but I sorta like a global switch that tells the AI that I prefer metric units over imperial

[covert sun]

Good suggestions, @spare sable! Thanks for sharing this sketch

[spare sable]

yeah that would be helpfull as like a setting where you can select your preferences such as:

• Metric / Imperial (as stated)
• Farenhieght / Celcius [though celcius is obviously better)
• Currencies [for auto conversion]
• Language [a setting to hardcode the output of the ai to a certain language]
  These and many more could probably auto-appended to the end of the prompt

[covert sun]

Hey @heady plover! Please read the #📙│rules of the server and post in a proper channel (#😎│cool-projects), if you are working on these, that's okay.

[mossy tulip]

writing filter is a temporary solution, we are working on something more general but it will take a bit of time. it should also address your concerns about prompt perfection
