FAQ
- Where's the free version? Need to download?
- Perplexity's free tier runs right in the browser at perplexity.ai — no download needed, and signing in raises your quotas. Loomi works the same way: ask first, sign in when you generate. Free quotas change often, so check each official site before you count on numbers.
- Can one photo really identify things?
- Yes. A single mushroom snapshot is enough for an ID card: a likely conclusion plus cited traits. Treat health-and-safety verdicts as leads, not rulings — read the warning strip, then double-check a primary source.
- How do I make AI homework sound natural?
- Read it first, close the page, then retell it in your own words. Break up neat three-part sentences, drop template connectors, add one judgment of your own. Loomi helps with outlines, material and source checks — but never fabricates citations; declare AI assistance as your school requires.
- Perplexity or ChatGPT for beginners?
- For searching and following hot topics, pick an answer engine like Perplexity — every claim carries sources, which suits beginners. For writing and spreadsheets, pick ChatGPT. Still torn? Ask Loomi to table them on citations, freshness and free quota, and take its one-line pick.
- Are the answers reliable? Fake citations?
- More reliable than a pure language model, but still fallible: mismatched sources and low-quality citations happen. Always open two or three sources and cross-check. Loomi bakes opening the originals into its workflow and says so when it can't verify — that honesty is the whole point.
- Free vs Pro: worth paying for?
- For light lookups and homework, free is plenty; consider Pro only when you live in English papers and competitor research. Prices and quotas move fast — check the perplexity.ai pricing page before paying. Loomi starts free and charges per generation.
