🧠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. |

There’s a version of the plan that sounds really good. You write blog posts. They rank on Google. People find you, some of them buy. It’s called content marketing, it’s been the go-to advice for ten years, and if you’ve been told to “just start a blog,” this is basically what they meant. Thing is, the math changed. SparkToro published research earlier this year using Similarweb data, and one number really got my attention. 68% of Google searches in 2026 end without anyone clicking through to...
Shopify ran a study with The Harris Poll across five countries this year. And there was one number I just couldn’t stop thinking about. 93% of people in the US say they feel at least somewhat ready to start a business. More than half say they could start today. And yet they haven’t. So the problem isn’t readiness. You get stuck in a cycle of “feeling ready.” You just keep reading and watching a little more. You are waiting for that one moment where everything makes sense. Then, before you...
