Perplexity AI is developing a new feature similar to Google’s Circle to Search. The company’s CEO, Aravind Srinivas, confirmed on X that this functionality will soon be available for Android users.
A demo video showcased how the feature works. In the clip, a user was chatting with the AI assistant about the greatest tennis players. When the user circled Roger Federer’s name and asked about his net worth, the AI quickly identified him and provided a relevant answer by searching online.
While Perplexity has confirmed the feature’s development, details like its official name and release date remain unknown. Since Google holds the trademark for "Circle to Search," Perplexity may introduce it under a different name.
Perplexity AI has been growing as a strong alternative to other digital assistants, including Google Gemini. The company is also expanding its AI ecosystem and recently launched Comet, an AI-powered web browser. However, it is unclear whether Comet will remain exclusive to mobile devices or expand to other platforms like Windows and macOS.
