Perplexity Launches Native Mac App with Advanced Features

• AI search startup Perplexity launched its native Mac app to compete with AI apps like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Quora’s Poe app.
• The Mac app is free, but a Perplexity Pro subscription offers more than 300 Pro searches and other features for $20 a month or $200 a year.
• The app allows quick invocation of the Perplexity search through keyboard shortcuts and access to voice mode, file upload, and voice dictation mode.
• Users can ask follow-up questions and browse conversation history through the sidebar.
• Perplexity is reportedly seeking to raise $500 million in funding that would double its valuation to $8 billion.
