Is Perplexity about to put traditional search engines on the endangered species list? Perplexity’s key strengths lie in its unwavering focus on accuracy and transparency, integrating multiple AI models to synthesize reliable information with citations. Unlike traditional search, it transforms the internet into a seamless, interactive experience, blending navigation, transactions, and browsing into one single AI-powered interface. Its vision to build a “cognitive operating system” within browsers positions Perplexity as the next frontier of truly personalized digital assistants embedded in our everyday lives. The numbers speak clearly: Perplexity processed 780 million queries in May 2025 and is growing at an explosive 20% month-over-month rate. With partnerships embedding it in phones from Motorola and Samsung, Perplexity is not just an alternative search tool, it’s changing the way we interact with the web. Perplexity AI was founded in 2022 and has raised funding in 5 rounds in the last 18 months, with total funding $1.5+ billion (Jeff Bezos, Nvidia, Softbank among the main investors). It is currently valued at approximately $20 billion. And what about you? Have you tried new AI native engines like Perplexity or are you still doing traditional keyword searches?

Have you heard Apple is launching its own AI search engine? It’s called World Knowledge Answers, and it’s set to power Siri and Safari by spring 2026, delivering results that mix text, images, video, and local search. This could be a massive shift for digital marketers. #AppleAI #SearchEngine #DigitalMarketing #AItools

Apple Search Engine — WHAT?! Apple is getting ready to launch a new AI-powered search engine for Siri and Safari called World Knowledge Answers. It will generate quick, multimodal answers, with some components powered by Google’s Gemini. Google Search is going from Front end to backend, a much powerful transition, I must say! Let's live through this transmission, shall we?

🚀 Google just dropped Nano Banana (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image) and it’s rewriting the rules of AI image generation. This new model delivers 𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐫𝐚-𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭, 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡-𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 image creation + editing. Early demos show it can follow highly detailed instructions and even handle complex edits that previous models struggled with. For creators and brands, that means producing next-level visuals in seconds instead of hours. Here’s a great demo by Meta Puppet showcasing what’s possible and it maintained 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐬 (check his shirt + hat 👀). That level of precision is something creators have been waiting for. #AI #GoogleAI #NanoBanana #CreativeAI #FutureOfImages

This new paper from Google explores how vision-language models can be applied to the hundreds of billions of Street View images, making it interactive and far more accessible. One exciting application is for visually impaired users, though the potential use cases go well beyond that. I really hope they release this as a product. Sometimes I wonder whether not working directly in AI model development is a missed opportunity. But I’m convinced that the most impactful space in the near future will be at the application layer, building on top of these models to create meaningful user experiences. https://lnkd.in/eAx8rc3c

🚀 Google just dropped “Nano-Banana” 🐒🍌 — its new AI image model that takes editing to the next level. Why it’s a big deal: ✅ Identity consistency – your face, pet, or logo stays the same across edits ✅ Prompt-based control – change backgrounds, styles, or objects with a sentence ✅ World-aware – understands context, not just pixels ✅ Watermarked & traceable – every AI-generated image is transparently marked 💡 For builders & creators: It’s live now in Gemini API, Google AI Studio, and Vertex AI — priced at just ~$0.039 per image. 👉 This isn’t just another image model. It’s a creative collaborator that blends realism, flexibility, and responsibility. What would you create with it?

🚀 Google is definitely one of the leaders in the AI race. With the release of VEO 3, they strengthened their position as a frontrunner in video generation. With Nano Banana, they secured their place in the image generation market. And with the launch of an unlimited video plan, they are taking over the creative advertising market. ✨ Of course, there’s still room for improvement — for example, adding story vertical format or upscaling features. But that’s all ahead. And what’s really exciting is how much competition we now see in AI. Competition is exactly what makes us, the users, happy! 😃 For this project, I created several frames in Nano Banana, animated them in Kling using last frame, and then added lip sync in VEO 3 by Google.
