Best AI apps for learning, in your opinion? I love Perplexity. I am in Perplexity multiple times per day because it searches the web and sort of does the research for you. And then the other one that I would say, there's this Gemini Advanced with Deep Research. This is really, really good for learning a topic too. Like, let's say I want to understand why do they keep making robots in the humanoid form factor. I would ask Perplexity and then I would probably take this same question and go and ask Gemini. With Deep Research, Perplexity will give me a sort of surface level answer. This Deep Research will give me a really deep written essay on it. You can see it' giving me this whole list of things it's going to do. Find articles, find information, find examples of specific tasks, et cetera. And this one's going to take several minutes to generate a report. I can click Start Research. It'll get going. Perplexity already has like a simple short report for me with a few sources of where it pulled this information from. So now I have a fairly surface level understanding just from getting this information out of Perplexity. We can see Gemini looked at 22 different websites. But this Gemini basically is like Perplexity on steroids. It finds a lot more sources and pulls all that information together and then essentially gives you like an essay back at the end of it.
