If there’s one artificial intelligence<\/a> (AI) vendor that can’t stop winning in 2024, it’s Perplexity <\/a>AI<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since the start of the year, it has not only hit a valuation of $520 <\/strong><\/a>million<\/strong><\/a> but developed an impressive following of 10 million monthly users<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

That includes a Who’s Who of tech A-listers, such as Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang<\/strong>, who says he uses Perplexity AI “almost every day<\/a>,” Amazon executive chairman Jeff Bezos<\/strong><\/a>, and former YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But what is it about Perplexity that keeps users like Jensen Huang coming back for more “almost every day?” What’s so compelling about this chatbot<\/a> that South Korea’s SK Telecom is giving 32.5 million users access to Perplexity Pro for free<\/a>?<\/p>\n

The answer is that it’s revamping the traditional search experience. In just a short amount of time since its launch in August 2022, ex-Google AI researchers have built a chatbot-style research assistant that users can ask questions to, which will respond with information taken from the internet in real-time, alongside the sources that it uses.<\/p>\n

As it stands, Perplexity.ai is poised to become Google’s biggest threat in online search<\/a>, offering a highly accessible and generative AI<\/a>-driven alternative that, as we will come to, is not laden down by SEO promotions or allegations over a “woke bias.”<\/p>\n
