An answer engine should be able to answer basic facts about anything: but also not just get back to you with long summaries. High density units of information are essential. We have been working together with folks at Tako on going further with knowledge cards and visualizations on Perplexity.

Getting the latest stock or crypto spot price, comparing different stock prices, finding out how much the US has been lending to other countries like Ukraine or Israel, tracking the national debt, crime cases across states, and customizing these queries to specific timelines - all is possible now on one single search bar.

We have been doing this for a while already. When you search for people, you get knowledge cards that compress the essential information in a card, vs long bios. Not universally to every person on the planet yet. But that's the ambition as our index expands.

And same, for weather or time or basic math queries.

This is still being rolled out slowly, first to folks in the US, and then, rest of the world. And there are still some rough edges in coverage of comparison queries and more customization. But expect us to keep improving rapidly and make this very reliable. As well as add more interesting cards, widgets for sports, stocks, and news over time.

I loved working with Alex, Bobby and team from @Takoviz and also participating in their pre-seed round! The energy and obsession they got to fix bugs on Saturday nights at 1 AM together is the sign of a cracked and customer obsessed team that will go places. I look forward to continue working with them on many more things that will get shipped to Perplexity users.

Why can’t politicians just answer simple questions about their job? Sophy Ridge asked Defence Secretary Wes Streeting a straightforward question he should have been ready for. You’d expect the person in charge of defence to have a clear position on the spending target for his own department, yet he repeatedly dodged it. She asked if he agreed with his predecessor John Healey, who said he was certain Britain should reach 3% of GDP on defence by 2030: “Are you also certain about 3% of GDP by 2030? Is that a target?” Streeting: “I endorsed John Healey’s resignation letter wholeheartedly at the time. What you will see from Andy Burnham and John Healey as prime minister and chancellor is a commitment to make sure the defence investment plan is fully funded.” That’s not an answer. Sophy cut in: “I’m going to have to come in again. You are the Defence Secretary, do you believe in the target of spending 3% of GDP on defence by 2030?” He again referred back to agreeing with Healey and then talked at length about setting out “what we will fund and how we will fund it.” Still no direct answer. Clearly frustrated, Sophy tried once more: “I’m not asking you to set out how you’re going to fund it. I’m asking, do you believe in the target that we should be spending 3% by 2030?” His reply? He wouldn’t answer because the next question would be about how to fund it. That is a ridiculous reason to refuse a basic question about your own brief. Just answer it. Absolutely pathetic.
