I never go to a business website anymore for a real customer service number that the business really want to give out (until you have tried their answers page or chat bot) and therefore is hidden deep in their web pages. Perplexity answers that question immediately.
Recently, there was a question of causative fraud involving the sale of our corporate jet - I put in the aircraft information and was immediately told who the new owner was/is.
Whenever I buy something on line and the site asks if I have a discount code, Perplexity has been very good at finding ones that still work.
As a physician, it answers some very specific medical questions very well and provides the citations to check; yet other, broader medical questions, are poorly answered.
As a cook, nothing beats looking at the pages of images on a Google search to find a recipe that looks like what I have in mind.
