Why we’re experimenting with advertising

Perplexity is beginning an advertising experiment in the United States to support its long-term business sustainability and a scalable revenue-sharing program for publisher partners, arguing that subscriptions alone are insufficient. Ads will appear as clearly labeled sponsored follow-up questions and paid media beside answers, while the company says advertisers will not influence answer content and that responses to sponsored questions will still be generated by Perplexity’s technology. Initial partners include Indeed, Whole Foods Market, Universal McCann, and PMG, and Perplexity says the model is intended to offer brands a transparent advertising channel rather than encourage manipulation of AI answer rankings. The company also commits not to share users’ personal information with advertisers and says it will adjust formats based on user feedback while maintaining unbiased answers and an uncluttered search experience.
