Perplexity launched in 2022 as an AI-powered search alternative — instead of returning a list of links, it generates an answer from web sources and cites them inline. The product targets users who would otherwise paste questions into ChatGPT or run a Google search. The company raised over $500 million, reached a multi-billion-dollar valuation, and added features like Pro Search, Spaces (collaborative threads), and Comet (a browser extension). Perplexity's relationship with publishers has been contentious — Forbes, Wired, and others accused the company of scraping content without proper attribution, leading to deals (with Time, Fortune, Der Spiegel) that share ad revenue with publishers. We cover Perplexity product changes, the publisher lawsuits and partnerships, search-quality benchmarks, and how the search-vs-chat boundary keeps moving.
