linkedinThis week's tool: Perplexity, search that actually answers. Its real limit is that it will not cite cleanly in the chat. The fix is to call the Perplexity API directly and capture the citation array, so every claim arrives paired with its source URL as structured data. Now your automated research outputs claims you can audit, because each one carries its receipt. You publish with confidence, not hope. The method, given away.
