Replaced Google for 90% of my research. The cited sources are the killer feature — I can actually trust the answers.
Great for quick research lookups. Occasionally gets confused with very recent events. Pro is worth it for Claude access alone.
My go-to for competitor research and market overviews. The follow-up chaining is insanely useful — you can drill 5 levels deep on any topic.
Solid tool. The source quality varies — sometimes it pulls from low-authority sites. But the speed is unmatched for initial research.
