Perplexity launches an elections tracker
AI startup Perplexity has launched a hub to track U.S. general elections results — one of the few major AI platforms to do so.
“Starting Tuesday, we’ll be offering live updates on elections by leveraging data from The Associated Press so you can stay informed on presidential, senate, and house races at both a state and national level,” Perplexity wrote. Perplexity’s election hub answers election-related questions like voting requirements and poll times, as well as AI-summarized analyses on ballot measures, candidates, policy stances, and endorsements. Aside from the summaries, the hub is essentially a wrapper around data from The Associated Press and Democracy Works’ API — but it’s notable in that Perplexity’s rivals have shown a reluctance to launch comparable features for fear of AI-generated misinformation.
