Perplexity now displays results for temperature, currency conversion and simple math, so you don’t have to use Google | TechCrunch

Perplexity is building a new AI-powered search engine to take on giants like Google It now provides direct answers for queries about weather, currency conversions, and math, aiming to keep users within its platform.

However, Perplexity faced criticism for displaying content from media outlets like Forbes without filling out proper credit.

The neat thing here is that Perplexity responded, by exploring revenue-sharing deals with publishers to ensure fair compensation for their content. Not many GenAI companies are looking at this and especially not in this way. This move could help Perplexity balance innovation with ethical content use.
