When I am interviewing candidates and they start asking specific questions that I dont know the answer to, I use Glean chat to quickly find answers. It helps save time because I can really quickly find the answers to anything. I think if leaders care about their employers, they would get Glean!

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.

Cons
Glean Technologies, Inc.
  • The AI Chat can definitely improve. I will ask it questions about our sales process and it should be referencing documents that I know are in our company Glean, but it will give me the wrong answer.

I give it a 5 because of the chat not giving accurate answers and also sometimes I will search for documents that I know used to be in Guru before we had it but now it is no longer in Glean

It's great, but doesn't necessarily feel like it adds enough value over using CoPilot, ChatGPT, or whichever generative AI tool your business already uses. Time will tell if this model continues to be developed, and whether it remains competitive with the other big models out in the industry, and innovating features and integrating more use cases fast.

Personally I am not from the evaluation team but I feel ChatGPT , Gemini are good as well.

I use all three at present, Perplexity IS outstanding when It comes to researching, like a search engine on steroids. If you need programming skills Claude or Chatgpt seem better suited for the task. What I normally do in a project IS use all three in order to arrive at a more insightful outcome. The BEST of all world.
