AI Search Reshapes Information Access: Perplexity Valued at $18B
AI-native search engine Perplexity tops 22 million users and an $18 billion valuation as traditional search faces new challenges.
According to public statistics, AI-native search engine Perplexity has surpassed 22 million users and reached an $18 billion valuation, as AI search changes how people find information.
Through real-time retrieval, multi-source cross-checking and structured summaries, Perplexity gives users direct answers with cited sources, sharply reducing the 'blue link' clicks of traditional search. Its enterprise edition and Comet browser continue to expand its market.
Google and Bing are also accelerating generative AI in search, with AI overviews now the default. Analysts say search is evolving from an 'information index' into a 'knowledge assistant,' profoundly changing the content ecosystem and ad business models.
