New Delhi: Bharti Airtel, the most popular and most used network operator, Airtel, is giving something crazy to their users, which is they are offering one-year free Perplexity Pro subscriptions to their users for free. There are some chatbots, unlike traditional ones, such as the most popular ChatGPT and one from Google, which is Gemini. Perplexity is an AI-powered search engine, by which users can ask any question, and it provides answers by gathering all of the information from the internet and then provides answers to the users. The company says that the use of a combination of cutting-edge language models like the GPT 4.1 and the Claude 4.0 Sonnet generates accurate and clear answers for the users.

Perplexity Pro, users can easily switch between large language models from the likes of Google, OpenAI and Anthropic and use the one they think works best for them. This premium pro subscription lets users perform up to 300 AI-powered searches in a day. They can also upload documents and files for the analysis and for the summarisation, and even for the text-to-image generation, which is powered by the likes of DALL-E and others.
Users can also get access to Labs; they recently added a feature that will help users create spreadsheets, web apps, and dashboards by performing 10 minutes or more of self-supervised work by using a wide range of tools like deep web browsing, code execution, and chart and image creation. These types of chatbots have added some pretty cool features for users, and users love to use this image generation for their fun or just to post those images on social media.
Now, most of the users will ask how we can claim this Pro subscription on their phone. To claim this free Perplexity Pro annual subscription, which is worth Rs 17,000, open the Airtel Thanks application and navigate to the Rewards section. After that, find and tap on the banner that says Get 12 months of Perplexity Pro worth Rs 17,000 for Free. On the screen that appears, simply click on the Claim Now button, complete the sign-up or sign-in process on the Perplexity website, and users are good to go. Since this is a complimentary subscription, users won’t have to enter any credit card or other payment details.
While the Indian telecom operators have mainly focused on bundling access to the video streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime and others, this is the first time that any network operator is offering an annual premium subscription for an AI chatbot.
