Perplexity AI Launches Voice Search: Google Trembles (Maybe)

Perplexity AI, the search engine that cites sources instead of hiding them, just launched voice search. Ask out loud, it answers out loud, all very smooth.

The difference from Google Assistant? Perplexity gives you in-depth answers with verifiable links, instead of reading you the first snippet it finds. It's slower, but more reliable.

The problem is people are lazy: if Google Assistant answers in 2 seconds with a "good enough" response, few will bother switching to Perplexity. Unless you're actually looking for quality, not hype.

Works great on mobile, terrible on desktop (where nobody talks to their PC at the office).
