Perplexity Max Debuts Multi-AI Agent Tool

The episode breaks down Perplexity's new Max plan, a cloud‑based multi‑AI agent that can orchestrate up to 19 different models and even spawn sub‑agents to complete complex, multi‑step tasks like financial analysis or legal research. While the tool is aimed at high‑paying professional users rather than mass consumers, its ability to automatically select the best model for a given sub‑task and avoid local security risks could give Perplexity a competitive edge over rivals such as OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini. The host also contrasts Perplexity's strategic shift toward enterprise revenue and multimodal orchestration with other AI firms' broader user‑growth focus, noting recent product rollouts like the Comet browser and upcoming developer conference.
