Perplexity

Perplexity, founded in 2022, builds an AI-powered answer engine that returns fast, accurate answers backed by credible sources, positioning itself between a traditional search engine and an AI-driven chat interface. The company's flagship product, the Perplexity Answer Engine, is delivered across web and mobile platforms and combines real-time web search, retrieval with source attribution, and multiple leading AI models. More than 150m questions are answered weekly through the product globally, and it reaches millions of users worldwide.

Alongside the consumer service, Perplexity offers Perplexity Pro, a paid plan for individual users seeking deeper research capabilities, and Perplexity Enterprise, which provides knowledge workers with accurate AI backed by enterprise-grade security. The company works in information-dense domains where the presentation of sourced material is central to the product, and it maintains partnerships with Latham & Watkins in law and with Wikipedia in encyclopedic knowledge.

Perplexity describes its approach as mission-driven and user-centric, placing users rather than advertisers at the centre of the experience, with particular emphasis on accuracy, credible sourcing and enterprise-grade security. The company's user base is global and its presence spans both web and mobile. More information is available at https://perplexity.ai/.
