Where Perplexity still wins
Perplexity remains the cleanest product for pure search with citations. Its Focus modes and follow-up question UX are genuinely better than a general chat tool for that specific task.
If you ship nothing downstream (no memos, briefs, drafts, or code), keep Perplexity. If you do, you will save time by moving the whole flow to Whizi.
