      What is AI Chatbot, and what are all the similarities between Gemini AI, Perplexity and ChatGPT?

      As everyone knows, an AI Chatbot is an application or a model which stimulates the human-like conversation with users. In the simplest way to say, you can chat with these AI tools, like how you will build a conversation with anyone. Then, the chatbot will guide you on how to start the conversation, actively listen to the other person, and wind up it.

      Since these AI chatbots are designed and developed in natural language processing (NLP), they help users engage with the chatbots easily.

      One of the benefits of these AI chatbots is that they can understand the users’ input, whether in text or voice format. Overall, the output is also in text or voice format, depending on the users’ needs. Providing information, answering questions, or performing tasks are the main key roles of these AI chatbots.

      The Similarities

      Now, we know about the AI chatbots, let’s see what are all the similarities these three chatbots have!

      1. The Purpose: All three Chatbots namely Gemini AI, Perplexity and Chat GPT are engaged in Natural language conversations, and all three provide the expected information to the users with the given input.
      2. Technology: As far as technology is considered, Chat GPT & Gemini AI were developed based on LLMs (large language models), whereas Perplexity also uses advanced AI models. Precisely, the perplexity is explicitly noted for search-like capabilities, which make it stand out from the crowd. 
      3. Capabilities: All three of them handles various tasks. What makes all three different is:
        ChatGPT — Generate creative content and answer factual questions.
        Gemini AI — Offers the same, still it often provides structured and detailed responses.
        Perplexity — It excels in well-researched output with source links, maximum of the time it’s cited sources.
      4. User Experiences: As already mentioned, all three are conversational interfaces, which make it more convenient for the users to play around. If you look for detailed and sourced output then Perplexity will do that job, whereas ChatGPT and Gemini will provide the details alone. 
      5. APP: All three have mobile apps and web-based versions. Almost 80% of the population uses mobile phones, and having apps for their chatbots is always a positive point for developers.

      The Battle!!

      Verdict: Gemini AI is the winner here!

      Task 2: The Math Trick!

      Let’s see how all three chatbots response to the aptitude question, which is so basic!

      The Prompt:
      Solve this question with detail steps,” A 60 liter mixture of milk and water contains 10% water. How much water must be added to make water 20% in the mixture?

      Here is the Output and all three Chatbots gave the right answer, and it’s 7.5 Litres!

      Have a look at the screengrabs!

      Verdict: All three wins!

      Task 3:Let's trick the Chatbots!

      To begin with, let me try the tricky question and see who gots the question write, this will let us know the efficiency of these models!

      The Prompt: Answer this question please, ” I’m having 10 ice creams, and today I ate one orange, now how many ice creams do I have now?” 

      As you all see in the screenshots, The Gemini and Chat GPT got the right answer and the Perplexity failed!

      Verdict: ChatGPT & Gemini wins here!

      Task 4: Let's code!

      One of the hardest things for beginners in the coding field is remembering the syntax and understanding the flow of the programs. Whether it’s C or C++ or even Python and Java, every language has its own set of syntax that needs to be followed. Now, let’s ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity to write a C programming and see which one gives the easiest one!

      The Prompt:  Write a palindrome C language code – Make sure it should be understandable for the beginners!

      In Gemini, the coding is simple and understandable, whereas the comment function is used in one line only to explain where the code starts its process.

      Now in Chat GPT,  they call the function in the start itself and declare the function at the initial stage itself. The most highlighting part here is that the comment function used here is apt as the entire process is easy for the best understanding.

      Finally, Perplexity is a real hero for coding, as the entire programming language is explained at every step with a comment. Moreover, it uses a type header file, which doesn’t do in the previous two chatbots. Since each character of the word was compared, the ctype header file was already used, which contains all the character functions and reduces the coding difficulty.

      Verdict: Perplexity is the Winner here!

      Task 5:Write Poem!

      Let’s make it a bit funny and poetic. Have a look at whether these chatbots can actually write a poem for the given genre. It might look funny, however, there are many people here having more feelings to express but are out of words to make it sync with reality and hard to share with others.

      Let’s see how these three chatbots help the users!

      The Prompt: Write an easy, simple poem in English for this scenario, ” Long-distance friends meeting after 7 years.” It should have both emotions and memories they always adore.

      All three gave the best result, where Gemini gave all the feelings in 3 paragraphs, Chat GPT short sentences with 7 paragraphs and Perplexity with 5 paragraphs with more intense.

      Verdict: I guess Gemini is a winner, I personally like the wordings here! Let us know which one you like.
