Perplexity Android app will come pre-installed on all new Motorola devices. And, we've worked together with motorola to optimize Perplexity Assistant for the Moto Razr, so that you can invoke it with the fold screen shut. New purchases will come with 3 months of Perplexity Pro.

Battling Google's dominance and stronghold of what apps go into Android is a massive challenge. We had to do this through building a much better native Assistant than Gemini, and finiding an agile partner in Motorola to give consumers a great end user experience.

@Moto You're just a fucking legend! No matter what happens in the future, you will forever be a favorite in this AI world! Would love to meet you somwday soon, @AravSrinivas

@Moto Wow, that's amazing! Finally, a built-in, true AI assistant. This will open more opportunities which were restricted as an app.

@Moto Very interesting that you choose to release the iOS version of the app before this full integration into this phone.

@Moto That’s a great move, to bring it in the dominant path. I hope to see this in other phones too!

@Moto google sold motorola to lenovo in 2014, but the right partnerships still lead to cool outcomes.

@Moto Perplexity on a flip phone feels like 2030 and 2005 shook hands.

@Moto A great strategy to introduce people to perplexity, also to dilute the monopoly. Excited to see how this approach turns out.

@Moto Lovely and all the very best!

@Moto Good 👍

@Moto awesome! however, @perplexity_ai still cannot control devices by voice like @GeminiApp currently does. Do you have any solution for that?

@Moto Excited to see how users respond to this.

@Moto So it's just an additional app? I would think sales will slow down if they remove the Google ecosystem.

@Moto how hard would it be for them to add voice activation?

@Moto Great news
