scite vs. perplexity
Scite is an innovative, Brooklyn-based AI platform that leverages Smart Citations to help researchers discover and evaluate scientific articles.
This isn’t just your typical citation tool.
It provides the context of each citation and classifies whether it supports or contrasts the cited claim. With over 1.2 billion citation statements extracted and analyzed, Scite is here to transform how you engage with research literature.
1. Smart Citations: Scite’s flagship feature, Smart Citations, doesn’t just tell you how many times a paper has been cited.
It goes further.
It provides the context of those citations and classifies them as supporting, contrasting, or mentioning. This helps you quickly gauge the credibility and relevance of a paper.
2. Citation Context: You can see exactly how specific sections of an article are cited in other research papers. This feature saves you hours of manual cross-referencing.
3. Citation Reports: Generate insightful reports and visualizations that show citation patterns and trends.

5. Browser Extension: With Scite’s browser extension, you can access Smart Citations anywhere you’re reading a scientific article online. Seamless integration at its best.
The Scite Assistant takes it up a notch by providing a Large Language Model (LLM) experience. Ask research questions in plain language and get answers backed by real research from their unique database.
This minimizes the risk of AI hallucinations and improves the quality of information you get.
Drug Development: Stay on top of clinical trials and drug efficacy.

Perplexity AI is not just another search engine. Launched in August 2022 and headquartered in the tech hub of San Francisco, this AI-powered search engine is the brainchild of Aravind Srinivas, Denis Yarats, Johnny Ho, and Andy Konwinski. Think of it as the love child of Wikipedia and ChatGPT—only smarter, faster, and more conversational.
Conversational Search: Unlike traditional search engines that give you a list of links, Perplexity AI provides you with direct answers, explained in natural language. It even cites its sources, so you know where the information is coming from.
Multiple LLMs: The free version uses OpenAI's GPT-3.5, but the Pro version? It’s like a buffet of AI models—GPT-4, Claude 3, Mistral Large, Llama 3, and more. You can switch between these models to get the best results.
Focus Mode: Want to dig deeper? Use the Focus mode to fine-tune your search and streamline sources. It's like having a personal research assistant.
Follow-up Questions: Perplexity remembers the context of your queries. Ask a follow-up question, and it will interpret it in the same context, saving you the hassle of rephrasing.
Document Uploads: Yes, you can upload your own PDFs, CSVs, images, and more for analysis. Imagine uploading a complex dataset and getting an instant summary. Mind-blowing, right?
Multimodal Capabilities: The Pro version can generate text, images, and even simple code. Talk about versatility!

Free Version: No account needed. Offers basic searches using GPT-3.5, with a limit of three uploads per day.
Pro Version: $20 per month or $200 per year. You get access to multiple AI models, 600 queries per day, and the ability to upload various file types.
Enterprise Pro: Flexible pricing based on team size. Includes advanced admin features, user management, enhanced security, and more.
