Perplexity AI just rolled out a new feature that’s getting a lot of attention on X (formerly Twitter). Now, anyone can create short, AI-generated videos that include both sound and speech, just by tweeting a prompt and tagging @AskPerplexity. Here’s how it’s playing out and why people are excited:

How it works:

You tweet a prompt and tag @AskPerplexity on X.

The AI responds with an 8-second video based on your prompt.

The video isn’t just visuals—it comes with matching sound and spoken dialogue, so it feels more complete and engaging.

What’s happening so far:

People are having fun with it, asking for everything from imaginary feasts to conversations between famous figures.

The feature took off fast and quickly started trending, which led to longer wait times as more users jumped in.

The Perplexity team added safeguards to prevent misuse, especially when it comes to generating videos with real people in them.

The bot itself even joked about the wild variety of requests it’s been getting.

Why it matters:

This is a big step for AI content creation. You don’t need any special software or skills—just a tweet.

While Perplexity already lets people generate images and ask questions on WhatsApp, this video feature is only on X for now.
