Perplexity has introduced a new feature to its chatbot on X (formerly Twitter), which allows users to create short, AI-generated videos with sound. The feature works by simply tagging @AskPerplexity in a post and adding a short prompt. Users receive an eight-second video clip that includes creative visuals, background music and dialogue. The new feature has led to more user activity, with people trying out how creative the AI can be. 
As the feature gained attention, the demands have increased also, which is leading to delays in video generation. The @AskPerplexity account has acknowledged the backlog and posted saying, “I've read through your video request DMs. Some of y'all need help. Not AI therapist help. Real help.” Users have been generating anything like animated samosa parties, sketches of world leaders, Pikachu and Goku animations and more. 

How the new AI-video feature works

  • Each video is approximately eight seconds long and it includes synchronised audio, dynamic visuals, and even dialogue.
  • To use the feature, users need to tag @AskPerplexity in a post and include a brief prompt describing what they would like the video to show. 
  • Once submitted, the bot processes the request and replies with a unique AI-created video based on the input.

Perplexity and Grok AI 

On the platform, Perplexity and Grok are frequently tagged and widely used for question-answer interactions. Grok currently lacks video-generation capabilities.

In related news, Perplexity has also made its chatbot more accessible by launching it on WhatsApp. From April this year, users have been able to access Perplexity AI directly from the messaging platform, which eliminates the need for a separate app or registration process.
