Perplexity AI is making moves in the smartphone market, and it could change the competitive landscape for tech giants. First, the company’s search functions have caused analysts to doubt Google’s (GOOGL) moat. Now, Apple (AAPL) seems to be next in the line of fire.
Perplexity announced a partnership with Motorola (MSI) to integrate its AI search engine directly into Motorola smartphones through “Moto AI” offerings. This comes as Perplexity is also in discussions with Samsung for similar integration. Meanwhile, Apple has been facing mounting criticism over delayed AI initiatives and reported internal struggles with its Siri virtual assistant.
