Perplexity AI co-founder Aravind Srinivas is super relaxed and busy with media engagements as the company onboards new gentlemen to the board. Meanwhile, OpenAI experiments with a generative AI search experience, and Google announces several upgrades to Google Search.
“Startups have to be aggressive in terms of competing against incumbents who already have, like, a billion users (Google Search). OpenAI has 100 million users. We don't have that today, so it's on us to achieve that,” said Srinivas, in a recent interview with Bloomberg.

Perplexity AI recently onboarded three industry leaders as new advisors to boost search, mobile and distribution: Emil Michael (ex-Uber), Rich Miner (Android co-founder), and Mikhail Parakhin (ex-Bing CEO).
