Prediction marketplace Polymarket teams up with Perplexity to enhance user experience with AI-generated news summaries.
Polymarket, a prediction marketplace where users bet on real-world events, has partnered with AI-powered search engine Perplexity to display news summaries related to events on the platform. When users click on an event, they will now see a concise news summary generated by Perplexity, along with a search box to ask more questions.
Polymarket is also leveraging Perplexity’s Pages feature to create a shareable column on Perplexity’s Discover page. This partnership marks another step for Polymarket in integrating real-time, relevant information into its platform. Perplexity will also incorporate data from Polymarket, like election trends, to generate visual content using the AI platform Tako.
This collaboration follows Polymarket’s previous partnership with Substack, allowing writers to embed prediction data in their posts. Perplexity, while primarily consumer-focused, sees this API partnership as a way to grow its brand, despite ongoing challenges like accusations of web scraping.
