Perplexity has launched a native Mac app to compete with AI applications like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Quora's Poe. The app is free, with a subscription option for $20 a month or $200 a year for enhanced features. The Mac app includes keyboard shortcuts for quick searches, voice mode, file uploads, and voice dictation. Users can also ask follow-up questions and view conversation history in a sidebar. Perplexity is reportedly seeking $500 million in funding to increase its valuation to $8 billion. The company recently received a cease-and-desist letter from The New York Times over allegations of scraping and plagiarism.
