Overview

  • Truth Search AI launched in public beta on the Truth Social web interface on August 6, with iOS and Android testing scheduled soon.
  • Perplexity’s Sonar API delivers direct answers with transparent citations and empowers Truth Social to filter or prioritize specific information sources.
  • Adding AI search to Truth Social strengthens Trump Media’s ‘Patriot Economy’ ecosystem, which already includes Truth+ streaming and Truth.Fi fintech services.
  • Axios reports that Truth Social’s implementation draws from a narrower set of sources than Perplexity’s public engine to align with client specifications.
  • Perplexity faces multiple copyright lawsuits over alleged unauthorized web scraping and content use by major publishers.
