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
Tremendous move. Congrats to the whole team!!
Perplexiton. Car(b)plexity. Either way, or not at all, aww-zumm move.
Strategic move! Connectors & ingestion pipelines are critical & pivotal to build RAG-powered corpus knowledge bases that can seamlessly interact with LLMs. Technologies/platforms are cool, but providing self-serviceable , integrated, and end-to-end automated solution is the key for adoption and the difference between a leader and a laggard.
George, the bottom line is the same stuff as Chat and Claude! Isn’t it? As a Google Workspace heavy user - it’s fantastic for me 🤩😎
Exciting news! Carbon integration will supercharge Perplexity’s AI with seamless data connectivity!
Perplexity will be the AI tool of 2025.
Perplexity, it looks like you’ve just turbocharged your data connectivity! Acquiring Carbon to integrate with apps like Notion and Google Docs is sure to make users’ lives much easier. Can’t wait to see what new features you’ll ship next—maybe a smart assistant that reads minds?
Congratulations on the acquisition of Carbon! The integration of their data connectors into Perplexity's tech stack will undoubtedly enhance the user experience and provide more personalized AI solutions. I'm excited to see how this will revolutionize the way we connect and access information. Data connectivity is indeed a crucial aspect of daily workflows, and this acquisition will undoubtedly make it easier for users to access diverse sources of information. Welcome to the Carbon team, and I look forward to seeing the new features that will be shipped faster. 👏🏼
Game changer 👀 Congrats to both teams!!
