Peec AI monitors how a brand appears in AI search — tracking mentions and source citations across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot — and benchmarks that visibility against named competitors. It uses UI-level scraping rather than only API calls, so it observes AI answers closer to how a real user would see them. It's aimed at SEO teams, marketing teams and agencies.

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.
