Best for
Researchers, writers and professionals who want cited, current answers without switching tools.
Limitations to know
AI answers can be wrong, including wrong citations, so check important claims against original sources before relying on them. Model availability and plan details change, and the product's developer API focus means consumer plan details should be confirmed on the official site.
