Chose Perplexity
I have been using all the 3 products - ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. Perplexity helps when ChatGPT and Gemini fail. There have been several instances when Chat GPT and Gemini provided inaccurate results and in those times Perplexity became a clear winner. However, in terms …

Chose Perplexity
I think they both do well. I use ChatGPT for some pre-created GPTs. So because I use them for different functions, it's hard to compare them head-to-head. I also use an Abacus, which I like a lot. Overall, they are all good, but I have different use cases for each one.

Perplexity is helpful when you want auto-code generation for day-to-day problem scenarios such as Powershell script to accomplish a task, Code to invoke a REST API, Class generation from JSON/XML data, etc. It is also helpful when you want to correct or optimize code that you have self-written. Perplexity might not be best suited for scenarios when you need 100% accuracy without your self-verification of correctness.
