Perplexity Unveils Native Mac App to Compete in AI Search
Perplexity has launched its native Mac app, aimed at competing with established AI search applications like OpenAI's ChatGPT. The app, which is free with a Pro subscription option, enhances user experience with advanced features such as voice mode and file upload capabilities. Users can also browse conversation history and ask follow-up questions seamlessly. Earlier this week, Perplexity was reported to be seeking $500 million in funding to increase its valuation to $8 billion, amidst a cease-and-desist letter from The New York Times over alleged scraping issues.
