I think I agree with you. I signed up for Perplexity Pro ($20/month) many months ago thinking I would experiment with it a month and cancel. Even though I only make about a dozen interactions a week, I can’t imagine not having it available.
That said, Google’s Gemini integration with Google Workplace apps is useful right now, and seems to be getting better. For some strange reason Google does not have Gemini integration with Google Calendar and asking the GMail integration what is on my schedule is only accurate if information is in emails.
I don’t intend to dump on Google, I liked working there and I use their paid for products like GCP, YouTube Plus, etc., but I don’t use their search all that often. I am paying for their $20/month LLM+Google One bundle, and I hope that evolves into a paid for high quality, no ad service.
