About Perplexity
Perplexity was founded in 2022 to rethink search for the AI era. Instead of a list of links, it returns a direct, conversational answer with inline citations to sources.
Impact
Perplexity popularized the “answer engine” as a category and pushed established search players to add AI summaries. It has expanded into agentic browsing with the Comet browser, positioning itself as a leading challenger in how people find information online.
