About Perplexity

Perplexity is an AI-powered answer engine that responds to questions with direct, cited answers instead of a list of links. Its main product combines large language models with real-time web search, offered through a free tier alongside a Pro subscription and enterprise plans.

Perplexity makes money mainly from subscriptions, charging individuals a monthly fee for its Pro tier and selling higher-priced seats to enterprises. It also earns revenue from usage-based pricing on its newer agent products. Perplexity was founded in 2022 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California, led by co-founder and chief executive Aravind Srinivas.
