The perplexity received 780 million questions in May, the CEO Aravind Srinivas shared on stage on stage Bloomberg technological summit Thursday. Srinivas said that the Ai search engine is seeing over 20% of growth month on month.

“From one year, we will do, like, a billion people on a weekend if you can support this growth rate,” said Srinivas. “And that the impressive priest because on the first day of 2022 we did 3,000 quari, only a single day. So from there to dooir 30 million questions a day now, it was a phenomenal growth.”

Srinivas has continued to note that the same growth trajectory is possible, especially with the New comet browser to which he is working.

“If people are in the browser, it’s an infinite retention,” he said. “Everything in the search bar, all in the new card, everything you do to do on the sidecar, one of the pages you are in, these will all be extra questions for active user, as well as looking for new users who are only tired of Legacy browsers, like Chrome. Be the way to grow up next year.”

Srinivas said that the reason perplexity is developing the comet is to move the role of the AI ​​from the simple supply of answers to the completion of the actions on your behalf. Explain that when you get an Ai-Powred response, it is essentially an oven or five searches in one. On the other hand, the IA that performs an action would be performed an entire navigation session with a prompt.

“You really have to have a browser and hybridization of the calculation on the client and on the server side as fluidly possible,” he said. “And this requires to rethink the entire browser.”

They undertake to explain that perplexity is not thought of comet as “another browser”, but as a “cognitive operating system”.

“It will be there for you every time, at any time, for work or life, as a system on the side, or how, just going and making navigation sessions for you,” said Srinivas. “And I think that the fandament makes us rethink the way we think about the internet. How, first we would navigate on the internet, but now people live more and more on the internet. Like many news about our life. Live with you, and this is why we have to rethink the browser.”

While the company dreamed of the browser too much, Srinivas said in April That perplexity of Reason is developing his browser is to trace the users’ activity beyond his app so that he can sell Premium ads, which would essentially reflect what Google did in silence to become the giant who is today.

He is currently unknown when exactly the comet will be launched, but Srinivas has already said about X Which will be launched in the coming weeks.
