Finally pushing code to production at Perplexity. Grateful to be on a team that empowers you to jump in and contribute. It's been a huge unlock as a designer. The future is bright ☀️

The pivotal offering of AI in our lives will not be as an anthropomorphic manifestation, but rather as a natural language abstraction that commands all previous computer systems. Perplexity + Comet.

Amidst this week's @PerplexityComet launch, we also low key launched a new movies vertical to all of @perplexity_ai. Perfect for cutting through the algorithmic noise of other platforms and creating watchlists you actually want to watch - try "movies similar to parasite", or…
