Yet, Perplexity distinguishes itself for how it functions. Its AI chatbot scours the internet for answers, listing citations for its results, and the company emphasizes accuracy as its unique selling point.
So strong is Perplexity’s allure that Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang told Wired in February that he used it almost every day. Though it’s worth noting that Nvidia invested in the company a month prior to the interview being published, so it may be in Huang’s interest to present himself as a fan.
Besides Huang, Jeff Bezos also took part in the January fundraising, solidifying Perplexity’s reputation as a start up on the radar of the who’s who of the tech world.
