About
Perplexity AI develops a conversational search engine powered by Large Language Models (LLMs), offering direct answers with cited sources rather than lists of links. Their core innovation lies in a proprietary blend of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and a focus on academic research papers, enabling more factual and nuanced responses than traditional search. Targeting information workers, researchers, and curious learners, Perplexity AI has gained traction for its "Copilot" feature – an AI-powered research assistant – and recently secured $52 million in Series B funding led by IVP and Nat Friedman.
