Perplexity AI is a conversational search engine that answers queries using natural language predictive text.[2] Launched in 2022, Perplexity generates answers using the sources from the web and cites links within the text response.[3] Perplexity works on freemium model, the free product uses its Perplexity model based on OpenAI's GPT-3.5 model combined with the company's standalone Large language model (LLM) that incorporates natural language processing (NLP) capabilities, while the paid version Perplexity Pro has access to GPT-4, Claude 3, Mistral Large, and an Experimental Perplexity Model.[2][4]
History
Perplexity was founded in August 2022 by Andy Konwinski, Denis Yarats, Johnny Ho, and Aravind Srinivas.[5] Srinivas previously worked at OpenAI and now serves as Perplexity's CEO.[6]
As of 2024, Perplexity has raised $100 million in funding, valuing the company at $520 million.[2][7][8] Additional investors include Nvidia, Databricks, Bessemer Venture Partners, Susan Wojcicki, Jeff Dean, Yann LeCun, Andrej Karpathy and others.[6][9][8] It has garnered about 10 million monthly users.[10]
Functionality
The main product of the Perplexity AI is its search engine, which relies on natural language processing.[6] It interprets the context of the user queries in order to provide more personalized search results. Perplexity summarizes the search results and gives a text with inline citations.[6] It prioritizes newer sources to avoid outdated information. The user can ask follow-up questions and Perplexity will interpret them in the context of the user's previous queries.[6]
Perplexity provides different modes of searching. The "Pro" mode asks the user clarifying questions to refine queries. The "Focus" mode sets a topic for queries. The "Writing" mode generates results without doing the web search.[6]
The user can upload a file for analysis.[6]
