It’s easy to set up Typing Mind for using with Perplexity AI (https://www.perplexity.ai/) Here is a quick guide.
Perplexity AI model is different from the Perplexity Plugin:
  • Perplexity model optimizes for the entire conversation, and answers user queries effectively using Perplexity datasets.
  • Perplexity plugin optimizes searching information during the conversation to get up-to-date responses. You can enable or disable it whenever you want or use it with other AI models such as GPT-4o, or Claude to enhance the AI responses.
