Perplexity will make AI images for you, but ChatGPT is the one doing ...
AI conversational search engine Perplexity can now add AI visuals to your answer, resembling what ChatGPT would create because they use the same model. Perplexity's web platform now offers image generation, with three per day for free users and unlimited for Pro users.
Easy Image Generation with Perplexity
Perplexity's new feature allows users to generate images effortlessly. Just like ChatGPT, users can prompt the AI to create an image using specific language. Even if the GPT-4.1 model isn't chosen, Perplexity will automatically utilize it to produce visuals as none of the other models currently support image generation on the platform.
You can now create images on Perplexity, with a user-friendly interface. New model selection options like Grok 3 and o4-mini have been added, expanding the choices for users.
Curating Models for Enhanced AI Experience
Perplexity's strategy of curating models for its platform streamlines access and offers users a variety of choices without committing to a single AI tool. The addition of ChatGPT's image generator to Perplexity's search engine adds vibrancy and is expected to be more popular once integrated into the Perplexity mobile app's voice assistant.
The company's approach of incorporating diverse models into its platform aims to provide users with a comprehensive AI experience. This strategy caters to individuals who seek a straightforward interaction with AI tools for queries, clear answers, and perhaps a touch of creativity with visual elements like flying whales.
Perplexity's voice assistant has been gaining traction as a Siri alternative, and the integration of ChatGPT's image generator is set to enhance user experience on the mobile app.
