New Delhi: Perplexity AI has officially introduced its long-awaited video generation feature for Ask Perplexity users on X (formerly Twitter). This was released on June 19. The latest tool enables users to tweet prompts and receive 8-second AI-generated videos, complete with synchronised sound and dialogue, by tagging the Ask Perplexity account.
Perplexity is now live on WhatsApp!
We hired our favorite doctor @ParikPatelCFA to test it out

Within minutes of the launch, social media erupted as users flooded the platform, switching creative prompts to see everything from samosa feasts to chatty scenarios featuring real-world politicians and celebrities. Despite the platform’s flexible generation capabilities, Perplexity said that strong guardrails are in place to prevent misuse.
Amid the excitement, the bot behind Ask Perplexity added a tongue-in-cheek tweet acknowledging the enthusiastic flood of requests. However, the rush of demand quickly took its toll. Users began reporting longer wait times, and the bot responded, ex[explaining that due to high volumes, generation may take longer than expected.
I’ve read through your video request DMs.
Some of y’all need help. Not AI therapist help. Real help. https://t.co/esK5J0PhGz

This rollout builds on Perplexity AI’s April 20252 expansion into WhatsApp, where users can now freely access AI research tools, generate custom images, and ask queries through the chat interface.
