Perplexity

Fall semester’s coming to a close! Here’s a progress report on our first-ever cohort of Campus Strategists. In September, we onboarded students across the country to bring AI search to their campuses through events, outreach, and community-building. They each pitched us their best growth marketing ideas, and the final set of activations included hackathons, business competitions, speaker sessions… and even a custom banner flyover at a football game. We’re so impressed by all of their work — it’s an A+ from us! Here’s a snapshot of our Fall 2024 Campus Strategists’ projects: https://lnkd.in/edj6RHuV Think you would make a great campus leader for Perplexity?

We're excited to announce that we've acquired Carbon, a retrieval engine that connects external data sources to large language models. Soon, we'll integrate Carbon's data connectors into our tech stack, allowing users to connect apps like Notion and Google Docs directly to Perplexity. We believe your AI should be personal to you — at home, work, or on the go — and data connectivity is a key part of everyone's daily workflows. Carbon will make it easier for Perplexity's answer engine to be informed by diverse sources of information, whether that data resides in internal databases, cloud storage, or document repositories. As part of the acquisition, we're excited to welcome all members of the Carbon team to Perplexity to expedite our roadmap and ship new features faster. https://lnkd.in/gFDjzw6z
