I have tested perplexity AI chat and it self sems to surf the web and collect info as well as it write better text about products. More accurate.
Chat is also free, no cost.
It would be great to have Perflexity API in SCM.

How to use Perplexity AI inside SEO Content Machine
The details of the perplexity api are here:
https://docs.perplexity.ai/api-reference/chat-completions
The specific urls and models you need are highlighted here:
Inside SCM you paste those details inside Open AI Alt 1 or 2.
Url: https://api.perplexity.ai/chat/completions
Model name: sonar
To test it, just open the AI chat window
Select Open AI Alt 1
Connection works!
Unfortunately I don’t have a perplexity API key to test it, requires credit card to signup. So the API itself isn’t free.
Notes
Perplexity chat may be free, but API access may require billing. Check Perplexity pricing before using it heavily.
