You ask Perplexity questions and it will transform it into a set of web queries that can return relevant results, and then tries to synthesize an answer based on those results. It can also do multi-step searches, where it will break down the question into queries for different parts of the question, and searches that relate the parts of the question. By the end of the process it may have done like a dozen different web searches. You can also ask follow up questions that will retain the previous dialog as context - I am not sure that you can do that with Google.
