Google's AI Overviews and Perplexity both use AI for search. AI Overviews distills information from multiple sources into a single answer, while Perplexity leverages AI for every prompt, often requesting clarification for unclear queries. Google's AI Overviews is a feature of its free search service, appearing for specific searches, while Perplexity is an independent search system that provides AI-driven responses for all searches.
AI Overviews are primarily used for distilling information from multiple sources into a single relevant answer, aiding brainstorming, planning, and understanding. They help users quickly find detailed and contextually relevant information from various online sources, reducing the effort needed to search for information.
