Perplexity’s CEO Sees AI Agents as the Next Web Battleground

Wait, though … confusion Other like other AI search engines like things are criticized for making mistakes and mistakes.

We welcome this criticism, because this is the best way to improve us. In fact, the defects account for a small fraction of the results and our answers are much more accurate than 10 blue links contaminated by SEO-Optimized materials of the decade. [In response to a follow-up request, Perplexity did not provide further details on error rates, but Jesse Dwyer, a spokesman, said that reliability is improving constantly]The But the real thing is, the accuracy and faith will become more important as the AI ​​is integrated with many others in our lives, so this is something we have concentrated relentlessly. We can’t go there without this response.

The confusion is also drawn from the copyrighted news articles with its “discovery” section. Do you understand why some publishers are upset?

We have replied before. See us Blog post How do we respect robot tttxt [a file added to websites that specifies whether web crawlers should access their content]The

The confusing assistant of Android and iOS seems to be “agent” because it can take action. How big is it?

AI is pretty good to answer the questions now. All that needs to be done is to get AI to take action. People use the word “agent”; Whatever you want – “agent” or “assistant” – but in the end it can string to the equipment together and perform the verbs. Therefore we [also building a] Browser, and iOS, an assistant to Android.

Does Apple and Google have too much control over their mobile platforms compared to externalities to make agents?

This is especially challenging with iOS, because you need to string at the Event API together. IOS, Mail, Calendar, Reminder, Podcasts, All things are available locally through Apple SDK — [software development kit used to build applications]So you can actually draft at least emails, schedule meetings, transfer meetings, set all these stuff, open the podcasts very easily. You can search for the podcasts … “Get someone who discusses de-banking with Mark Andresen Joe Damn.” It could get you very fast.

This is mostly difficult because you can’t access other applications. IOS is not very different from Android, because AI cannot access most applications in Android (that means confusion assistant can easily interact with some applications than others). [But] Third party applications can create their SDK to be accessible to Android SD. For example, our Android system can show a song in Spotify. In the iOS, you can only link with a specific spotify song and you need to start playing the audio manually.

Oh, so is the app-makers behind the AI ​​agents?

That’s the challenge. If people are our API – Open Table, Uber, Doddash or Instacart – where the app can access the information within the app without opening the app. At the rear edge, it is quite strong. For example, if we can access Uber information and see that Uber X does not cost more than 5 or 10 percent for Uber Comfort, we can only book Uber Comfort for you – if this is a priority that you have set in confusion.
