đź§  ChatGPT Isn't Good for Research


Still using ChatGPT? I mean, for blog posts, social media posts, or your website copy?

There’s nothing wrong with it. But…

The best AI tool for content research isn’t ChatGPT or Gemini, but Perplexity AI, an AI-powered conversational search engine.

Why do I say that?

Here’s why Perplexity AI might be better for research content:

➡️ Up-to-date Information: Perplexity AI uses current internet data, while ChatGPT’s knowledge has a cutoff date.

➡️ Provides Sources: Perplexity AI gives links to where it got information, which ChatGPT doesn’t do.

➡️ Better Conversations: Both tools let you chat, but Perplexity AI can ask follow-up questions, making research easier.

So if you want to write better, more current, and interesting content, Perplexity might help you find more accurate information, making it a more suitable choice for content research.

To learn more about how Perplexity AI can improve your workflow, give this guide a read.

Cheers,

Minosh.

Mr. Pibb, a soda that has existed since 1972, became the fastest-growing brand of 2026. Not a new product, not a viral...

Everyone says their thing saves you time. Or saves you money. Or cuts your costs in half. And yeah, it sounds good. It feels like a responsible thing to say, especially when you’re just starting out and don’t want to come off as pushy. Thing is, “saves money” is actually one of the weakest ways to describe what you offer. And I don’t mean weak like unclear. I mean weak like it physically limits how much people are willing to pay you. Here’s why. When someone hears “this saves you money,”...

Everyone talks about how to get subscribers. How to grow the list, run the launch, get to 100 paying customers. Nobody really talks about what happens after. I saw a story from a freelance illustrator who started a subscription box of her own artwork for $19.99 a box. Good quality prints, nice packaging, real effort. She ran it for six months and then closed it. The reason wasn’t bad marketing. The product was good. People liked it. Thing is, after she added up quality prints, packaging, the...
