“Factfulness and accuracy is what we care about,” Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas says in an interview. His AI search startup has raised over $70 million and is focused on getting “as many users as possible.”

It’s hard to have a conversation about AI startups these days without Perplexity coming up. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang professes to using the AI search engine “almost every day,” Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke says it has replaced Google for him, and I’ve heard Mark Zuckerberg is also a user. I’ve been testing Perplexity in place of Google the past couple of months and have found it to be better for some searches, like ones with a very specific answer I’m looking for.

One day we built a tool that could scrape all the links and summarize them and we started using it ourselves internally for coding. We put it out with the hope that at least some people would notice and we could get some contracts for people to work with us if they want this experience for their own data. But the consumer adoption has just been growing since the day we put it out. And so we committed ourselves to the harder mission of making it a successful consumer product.
