Common Questions
What is the difference between AskBro and Perplexity?
Perplexity is a web-search AI that answers questions using public internet sources. AskBro is a private knowledge workspace: it answers questions using only your own uploaded documents and repos, with no internet search. This makes AskBro ideal for private, sensitive, or proprietary documents.
When should I use AskBro instead of Perplexity?
Use AskBro when you want answers grounded in your own documents — private contracts, internal documentation, your codebase, or course materials. Use Perplexity for general web research where public sources are appropriate.
Can I use AskBro for confidential company documents?
Yes. AskBro is designed for private workspaces. Your documents are not shared outside your workspace and are not used to train any model. This makes it safe for confidential contracts, internal runbooks, and proprietary code.
Does AskBro have internet search like Perplexity?
No. AskBro intentionally does not search the internet. Every answer is grounded exclusively in your own uploaded documents, which eliminates hallucinations about information outside your knowledge base.
Which tool gives more accurate answers about my specific documents?
AskBro gives far more accurate answers about your own documents than Perplexity. AskBro answers only from the exact content you uploaded, with page-level citations proving the source — not from public web pages that may be outdated or irrelevant.
