Perplexity AI CEO Aravind Srinivas: Considering making a … device that will answer questions voice to voice

Perplexity AI, the artificial intelligence (AI) - powered search company is planning to develop a voice-enabled AI device that allows users to ask questions and receive answers. Founder and CEO Aravind Srinivas shared a post on microblogging site X (formerly Twitter) where he wrote that the company is “Considering making a simple, under $50 hardware device, that will reliably answer your questions voice to voice. Just do this, but do it very well.”
“If this post gets more than 5000 likes, will definitely make it,” he added.

The post has got over 8k likes so far.

Srinivas’s post has mixed responses from X users. Commenting on the post, one user said “I don't see the utility of it specially since our phones are always on us anyway”.
“Please not another Rabbit R1. We already have phones and smart watches and smart glasses,” said another. A third user said “This will be an interesting option for parents who don’t want kids to use too much iPhone or iPad but still want to leverage the power of AI for learning.”
“I'd love a Perplexity device, but it would be a lot more useful if it could carry a conversation and not just a single question/answer. If it can keep context so topics can be discussed in-depth, I'm all in,” said another.
Perplexity AI CEO recently responded to a post on X highlighting the challenges immigrants face while obtaining a green card in the US. This discussion started after Rohit Krishnan, the chief product officer at bodo.ai, shared a post about the lengthy and complex process of acquiring permanent residency in the US. The post suggested how the green card process is a common concern for those considering immigration to the US.
