Announcing this partnership, Aravind Srinivas, Founder and CEO of Perplexity, said, “I am super excited about our partnership with Nothing. We believe it is time for the smartphone to be reimagined in the era of AI. To take us off from consuming 10 blue links, with SEO and spam and ads, to personalize answers that just cut through the noise and give you exactly what you want as a user – knowledge, on the go, in your pocket, wherever you are. That’s what Perplexity and Nothing want to bring together to this world.”
