How has Perplexity added a visual aspect to the display of basic query results like weather and currency conversions?
Perplexity has added a visual aspect to the display of basic query results like weather and currency conversions by introducing cards. These cards present the information in a visually appealing and easily accessible manner, making the results more prominent and quick for users. This approach aims to prevent Perplexity users from turning to other search engines like Google for such information. Unlike previous methods where Perplexity fetched data from the web and displayed it descriptively, the new card-based design allows the platform to display direct results without the need to fetch them from external sources.
