Aravind Srinivas CEO of Perplexity, a buzzy year-old startup whose AI-powered search engine aiming to loosen Google’s grip on the market and present “a better way to experience the internet” sat down with Gaurav Kittur, our Global Co-Head of Internet Investment Banking, to discuss the shifting search landscape, Perplexity’s growth, and competition from Google and OpenAI at our recent Private Internet Conference. Check out the conversation: https://lnkd.in/eKHCDWkH
He is right; Google search results are bloated, biased, and censored, and you get 100s of pages, whereas Perplexity gives you whatever answer you need, with nuance and citations.
I really appreciate this app; it saves a lot of time that would otherwise be spent getting sidetracked or hopping by other topics , as often happens with traditional search engines. It provides useful references to verify sources, which is a fantastic improvement after 20 years.
Perplexity in a few years' time will be at the level of Google, sitting at the Big Tech table
What about designing a professional social media where Perplexity's users would go and peer review random posts for accuracy? Would love to work on that to help your orders of magnitude growth.
Conor Grennan you see this?
