    Its a great product particularly for researchers, scholars, etc. Just needs to rebrand the name Perplexity. I associate the word Perplexity with perplexed.

    • @milandin62

      January 7, 2024 at 2:30 pm

      You associate the word with another word that has the same exact root? Who’d have thought…

    How is it different from Bing?

    • @menachempike4489

      January 6, 2024 at 7:20 pm

      ikr they’re literally using gpt and bard????

  8. @jimbobkentucky

    January 6, 2024 at 9:59 pm

    Doesn’t Bard already do this? I would like to hear how the are truly differentiated.

    • @Seth83737

      January 6, 2024 at 11:12 pm

      Same.. they are like Lyft, trying to get a slice of the market and hope to be acquired later.

    • @doctordilanka

      January 7, 2024 at 4:48 am

      Bard sucks… can’t even do basic math.

      Perplexity is like an up to date bard + chatGPT combo that also includes footnotes of the exact source of claims it makes.

    • @ghghgjkjhggugugbb

      January 7, 2024 at 12:16 pm

      Perplexity was there way before bard

    • @MrMentalpuppy

      January 7, 2024 at 4:54 pm

      Provides good sources

  9. @KPai

    Startups are the big tech of the future

    Google , Meta , Apple and Amazon

    What are “ series B “? Share for private investment?

  12. @g1kluang

    January 7, 2024 at 3:12 am

    Why does he look scared

    • @wokeymcwokeface1974

      January 7, 2024 at 2:07 pm

      He’s a young entrepreneur – probably first time on TV.

    • @astrophage381

      January 7, 2024 at 2:23 pm

      Not media trained

  13. @SmilingMoon-sw1kt

    January 7, 2024 at 4:21 am

    As a user of this product it seems like Google or Bing. I rarely use this app.

  14. @sodiumwaste

    January 7, 2024 at 5:18 am

    This is a very unconvincing interview

  15. @Gabeyre

    January 7, 2024 at 8:24 am

    Isnt what Perplexity is doing what Bing AI wants to do?

    • @user-jm6gp2qc8x

      January 7, 2024 at 8:50 am

      I have the same doubt

  16. @Gabeyre

    January 7, 2024 at 8:25 am

    Sounda like a 10 milliin users from The Silicon Valley show on HBO

  17. @kp2718

    January 7, 2024 at 12:08 pm

    I like, it’s the most concrete out of all the major chatbots, only Bard sometimes is even more concrete, I guess it depends on how it’s set at the moment

  18. @ChicagoJ351

    January 7, 2024 at 12:46 pm

    Cool, but I would question the 10mil user stat. I’d like to see more concrete data to see if that’s real, fabricated, or not as authentic as it may appear.

  19. @Michael-ul7kv

    January 7, 2024 at 1:38 pm

    It’s really good. Avoid your biases and give it a try if you haven’t.

  20. @Wack373

    January 7, 2024 at 2:54 pm

    I’ve used it. It’s amazing how fast and fairly accurate it is. Kudos to the team!

  21. @MrMentalpuppy

    January 7, 2024 at 4:53 pm

    I too used it, it’s one of the best.

  22. @anirudhatalmale5575

    January 7, 2024 at 6:25 pm

    It’s extraordinary app. Can replace google

  23. @georgehart5182

    January 7, 2024 at 6:35 pm

    I really don’t understand what the investors are thinking with this group. It’s been a year now and the product is still lacking any differentiation from ChatGPT and M$ Co-pilot.

    Moreover the branding is awful and the explanation in this interview is like an anti-sales pitch …

    Want them to succeed, but I think it would make more sense for these engineers to go work at Amazon and make a better competitor with their AWS infra (as mentioned interview)

    Waiting to be acquired and move on
