Perplexity ($9B valuation) has acquired Carbon, a 4-person startup, in a game-changing move to advance AI beyond chatbots and Revolutionize Enterprise Search! Carbon wasn’t acquired for its size or user base but for its cutting-edge solution: enabling AI to access personal files securely without copying data and here’s why it’s a big deal: • Enhanced AI Capabilities: Carbon’s retrieval augmented generation (RAG) technology allows AI to pull data from external sources, making search results more accurate and comprehensive. • Workplace Integration: Soon, Perplexity will connect with tools like Notion, Google Docs, and Slack, enabling seamless searches across your work platforms. • Enterprise Search Breakthrough: This acquisition positions Perplexity to launch powerful enterprise search products that can quickly navigate through unstructured company data. Why This Matters Imagine asking an AI assistant a question and getting instant, precise answers directly from your company’s files, meeting notes, or cloud storage. That’s the future Perplexity is building! With a recent $500 million funding round and a valuation hitting $9 billion, Perplexity is clearly positioning itself as a serious contender in the AI search market!! Who in your view is best positioned to win this battle: - ChatGPT - MS Co-Pilot - Google Gemini - Perplexity #AIInnovation #EnterpriseSearch #PerplexityAI #genai
Avnish Sabharwal Sir, This acquisition is a game changer and is just the beginning … In my opinion , the future of work will undoubtedly be shaped by AI-driven solutions that enhance productivity, streamline information retrieval, and foster collaboration. Regarding your question of who's best positioned to win this battle, I believe it's too early to count out any of the contenders. Each player brings unique strengths and capabilities to the table: - ChatGPT's conversational AI prowess - MS Co-Pilot's integration with Microsoft's suite of productivity tools - Google Gemini's potential to leverage Google's vast knowledge graph - Perplexity's focus on secure, enterprise-grade search solutions Ultimately, the winner will be the one that best addresses the needs of enterprise customers, prioritizes data security and compliance, and delivers intuitive, user-centric experiences.
This sounds like a big step forward! I love the idea of AI pulling info directly from our files. It could save so much time and make searching feel way more intuitive. Can't wait to see how it all unfolds!
