After telling the court Google blocked its Moto deal, Perplexity debuts on the new Razrs.

He claimed that both Motorola and Perplexity, which positions itself as an AI search engine, were interested in a partnership last year, but the phone maker was unable to get out of its Google distribution contract, which prevented it from using a non-Google assistant platform. In his antitrust testimony, Shevelenko noted that having default placement is important but difficult to secure due to Google's omnipresence on phones. The new Razrs will proactively suggest you perform an AI search when accessing certain features like the calendar or browsing the web under the banner "Explore with Perplexity."
