AI-powered answer engine
Perplexity combines AI with real-time web search to provide sourced answers. Every response includes citations you can verify. Pro ($20/mo) unlocks unlimited Pro searches with GPT-4, Claude, and more. Great for research and fact-checking.
Perplexity announced a new hardware product called 'Personal Computer' on Hacker News. The announcement was minimal, consisting of just a title and a 2-point score with no comments. This marks Perplexity's first known foray into consumer hardware, a significant pivot from its core AI search engine business.
I built *valuepulse.ai* out of a frustration I kept running into: everything is scattered across different tools. If I want to search internal knowledge, I use something like Glean. If I want to analyze data, I switch to a BI tool or a data agent. And if I need external context, I’m back to Google or Perplexity.Even with all the progress in generative AI, it still feels pretty disconnected.So I wanted to see if it’s possible to bring search (both web and enterprise) and analytics into one
Interesting to see that the entrepreneurs from more recent years tend to be doing well relative to years prior.Some interesting future directions could be:- Expanding search to be global and include more competitions, like biology and chemistry- Improving search so less unknown results- Showing insights, like trends over the yearsMade with Perplexity Computer

I built an open-source research agent. You ask a question, it searches the web via Tavily, synthesizes an answer with an LLM, and shows the sources it used. Answers stream in real-time.The interesting part is the backend. It's a single JS file (~100 lines) that handles web search, LLM streaming, and per-user conversation history. No vector database, no Redis, no separate storage service.It runs inside a cell — an isolated environment with a built-in database, search index, and filesys

Hey HN. I am a solo dev. I usually build AI image and video tools, and I can ship products pretty fast. But getting traffic to them is always my biggest pain.Lately, my normal SEO tricks stopped working and i know yours too after dec 25. I realized my own behavior changed too, we don't search and click links anymore. We just ask Perplexity or chatgpt or gemini, and we only click the citations. I realized that if my SaaS isn't in those AI citations, my product basically doesn't
