Perplexity AI Snaps Up Read.cv: The LinkedIn Challenger's New Chapter
In a bold move, Perplexity AI acquires professional networking platform Read.cv, marking its third major acquisition after Carbon and Spellwise. While Read.cv users scramble to export their data before its shutdown in May, Perplexity aims to integrate Read.cv's unique social networking flair into its enterprise offerings. This strategic pivot signals Perplexity's ambitious bid to challenge LinkedIn's dominance in the professional networking space, while raising questions on platform consolidation and user data's future.
