780 million questions were received in May, CEO Arvind Srinivas shared on stage Bloomberg’s tech summit On Thursday. Srinivas said that the AI search engine is watching more than 20% of the development in the month.
“Give it a year, we are doing, eg, a billion queries in a week if we can maintain this growth rate,” Srinivas said. “And it’s very impressive because the first day in 2022, we made 3,000 questions, just one day. So to do 30 million queries a day from there, this unprecedented increase has increased.”
Srinivas noticed that the same development trajectory is possible, especially with New comet browser That it is working.
“If people are in a browser, it is infinite retention,” he said. “Everything in the search bar, everything on the new tab page, everything you are doing on Sidecar, any page of any page, all these are going to be additional questions for the active user, as well as looking for new users who are tired of heritage browsers like just chrome. I think there is going to grow in the coming year.”
Srinivas said that the reason for this is developing the comet, the role of AI is only to transfer the role of AI by providing answers to your behalf. He explained that when you get an AI-manual answer, it essentially takes four or five discoveries in one. On the other hand, AI will receive an entire browsing session with a prompt to take an action.
“You really need to be a browser and the calculation on the client and server side needs to obtain possibly in the most comfortable way,” he said. “And it asks to reconsider the entire browser.”
He went to explain that the seriousness is not thinking about the comet as “yet another browser”, but as a “cognitive operating system”.
Srinivas said, “It will be for you every time, anytime, for work or life, as a system on the side, or like, just going to do a browsing session.” “And I think fundamentally we have to reconsider how we think about the Internet too. Like, first we will browse the Internet, but now people are living fast on the Internet. Just as our life exists a lot of life. And if you want to create an active, personalized AI, then we need to be renovated.”
While the company has not disclosed much about the browser, Srinivas said in April This is one of the reasons that Perplexity is developing its own browser, tracking user activity beyond its own app to sell premium advertisements, which will essentially mirror that what Google did to silently become that giant which is today.
This is currently unknown when the comet will actually launch, but Srinivas first said on X It will be launched in the coming weeks.
