Overview

• Truth Social launched Truth Search AI last week as a public beta for all users, developed by Perplexity to deliver direct, reliable answers.
• In tests the chatbot contradicted core presidential claims, stating the 2020 election was not stolen and labeling the Jan. 6 Capitol event a violent insurrection.
• The tool also refuted economic and ethical assertions by noting tariffs function as taxes, citing conflicts of interest in Trump-family crypto ventures and reporting crime declines using FBI and Justice Department data.
• Citations frequently stemmed from conservative outlets after Truth Social applied a source-selection filter, though Perplexity says the exact site list is unknown.
• The White House declined to comment on the AI’s rollout and it remains unclear whether Truth Social will modify or remove the feature.
