Perplexity is on a spree of launching new features and updates. Recently, the company unveiled its Telegram Bot, integrated new features for Pro users, announced its Startup program, and more. All these updates aim to improve accessibility, productivity, and collaboration for users and teams.
In this story, I have compiled all the recent developments from Perplexity. So, let’s take a closer look at what the Aravind Srinivas-led AI company has to offer.
1. Perplexity Enterprise Pro Users Get Box and Dropbox Integration
Perplexity Enterprise Pro users can now connect their Box and Dropbox accounts in addition to existing integrations with Google Drive, OneDrive, and SharePoint. This expanded cloud storage support allows teams to run deep research across internal documents and the web.
2. Gemini 2.5 Pro Now Available to All Pro Users
Perplexity has also upgraded its AI capabilities. The company has added support for Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro model, which is now available to all Perplexity Pro users. It improves reasoning, coding, and multimodal understanding on the platform.
This update is expected to deliver faster, more accurate, and more versatile responses when users ask complex questions or run advanced research tasks on the platform.
3. Perplexity Arrives on Telegram
Perplexity is also making its AI assistant more accessible by launching a bot on Telegram. Users can now chat with “askplexbot” one-on-one or even add the bot to group chats for shared research and instant answers.
That’s not all; the company is also interested in expanding its bot beyond Telegram. Recently, Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas asked its followers if they’d like to have a similar bot on WhatsApp as well.
4. Perplexity for Startups: New Program Announced
It’s not all platform updates only. Perplexity is also taking steps to support early-stage startups. The company recently announced its startup program, where eligible companies can receive $5000 in API credits and six months of free access to Perplexity Enterprise Pro for their entire team.
To qualify, startups must be under 5 years old, have raised less than $20 million in equity funding, and be associated with one of Perplexity’s Startup Partners.
The goal is to help startups reduce time spent on research so they can focus more on building and scaling their products.
