Will Perplexity kill Google?

Hi, I’m Sergey Osipov @s_osipov, cofounder of Placy (AI real estate agent). Launched about 20 startups and had some exits, including a unicorn IPO. Sharing here my observations and tips for AI founders. Join! #AI #Startup #PropTech

PerplexityGoogleAI search
  • AI-driven search solutions hold ~6% of search market share
  • Google dominates with ~90%
  • AI search generates just about 1% of revenue, but showcases a higher-margin premium business model
  • By 2028, AI's slice could rise from 6% to 14%

Perplexity holds ~0.5% of the search pie. It grew from 10M to 12M MAU this year and is projecting its revenue at $40M for 2024 (more stats here)

Perplexity and SearchGPT overlap about 50% with Google results, based on my own testing. The other half varies for each. A tough fight!
