When you ask a question, it is a search-specialized AI that searches the web in real time and answers with a source link. Useful for research and fact checking.
This is an AI search service that searches the web in real time when you ask a question and organizes the answers with source links. It is run by an American startup and has gained popularity as it combines the advantages of chatbots and search engines.
It is useful for office workers, students, and reporters who frequently check the latest information, research data, and check facts. You can use it for free, or a paid subscription provides more powerful models and in-depth research features. In Korea, the number of users has increased significantly due to partnerships with telecommunication companies.
Although it is ahead of regular chatbots in terms of recency and source verification, it is recommended that users take a second look at the reliability of the cited source itself.
