Perplexity's new AI bet: Monetize the bots, pay the publishers

Quick recap: Perplexity announced a new kind of subscription called Comet Plus. Users can pay $5 a month to access content from Perplexity's publisher partners-that is, those who sign up to participate-and Perplexity passes on most of the revenue to them. It's already set aside $42.5 million to kick-start the program, according to CEO Aravind Srinivas. Although the program is named after the company's new Comet web browser, users can use any browser to access the content via Perplexity.
