Perplexity started as a small business tool for ourselves. We had 4 people and no revenue with AI at our fingertips.
The pivot to Computer is actually a full circle. Founders are using it to grow companies that matter to the economy and their communities.
It’s rewarding to see it now powering small businesses and startups in big ways.
Perplexity is still a startup. We just 5X’ed revenue from $100M to $500M with only 34% growth in team size. 2x revenue growth in 2026 with same small team. And we’re just warming up.
Everyone here works at a small business, and everything we build is for people who build.

☁️ dream with me a bit:
in this new world we're stepping into, imagine your brand guidelines with a prototype of what their timeline could look and feel like before making a single post.
you don't have to present them with statics or spend too much time making the PeRfEcT deCk. let the work shine.
@michaelbeal1 You basically go from "how could we approach this" to "build me these 3 programs/campaigns/ideas based on these parameters" and you polish. Also REALLY helps with concept buy in from partners, etc. You don't describe things, you show them.
@michaelbeal1 As a marketer, it's a pretty wild leverage multiplier. The core PPLX experience is the best for what I consider to be "project infrastructure" - research, analysis, pressure testing.... but with Computer you create fully realized projects, plans, and ideas and then tweak.
Introducing Perplexity Computer.
Computer unifies every current AI capability into one system.
It can research, design, code, deploy, and manage any project end-to-end.
