AdAnt AI is an AI agent for social ad creative — give it a product URL or an inspiration video and it researches trending formats on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, then generates 20-50 short-form video ad variants per batch (up to roughly 100 in 20 minutes) for A/B testing. It saves brand positioning, audience guidelines and assets so output stays consistent across batches, aiming to replace a manual creative-briefing process with an automated one.

Read the full Perplexity review

Perplexity is the AI you use when you would normally open five browser tabs. It combines large language models with live web search to return a written answer that cites its sources inline — so you can verify claims quickly instead of trusting a black box. Pro Search plans queries into multiple steps for deeper questions, Spaces keep research organized across a topic, and Focus modes narrow searches to academic papers, YouTube or Reddit. It is not a replacement for a general-purpose chatbot, but for time-sensitive research it is the fastest tool in the category.
