@perplexity_ai casually put £1M on the table just to build a whole company using AI.
@perplexity_ai Would this be ok? 3 AI agents synthesise my finance, health & energy every morning. 2 autonomous loops doing trading in guardrails and correlating with market trends Brief to Telegram/Android Data never leaves device. ☘ http://buddie-local.netlify.app
@perplexity_ai True, but will be interesting to see how many actually build viable products vs just experiment. That's the real test.
@perplexity_ai Go on.... extend it to Ireland too :)
This is an incredible and visionary initiative by Perplexity at London Tech Week. 'The Billion Pound Build' provides a massive opportunity for tech innovators and startups. Offering £1M in computer credits to build companies using Perplexity Computer will definitely accelerate groundbreaking innovation. Kudos to the Perplexity team for empowering the next generation of founders
@perplexity_ai AI tools like Perplexity Computer cut the research-to-MVP timeline significantly. For solo founders, this levels the playing field against funded startups.
@perplexity_ai Yoo
@perplexity_ai The best builders won't just use AI to write code.
They'll use AI to run research, test ideas, validate markets, automate operations, and accelerate every decision.
Excited to see what teams build with Computer. 🚀
@perplexity_ai Waiting for India 🏆
@AravSrinivas Awesome
@perplexity_ai Exactly - the real value is letting startups test enterprise tools without worrying about compute costs. Could accelerate MVP cycles significantly.
@perplexity_ai £1M to build your company using their own tool?
Perplexity really said let us fund your startup and get free product feedback at the same time.
@perplexity_ai Huh
@perplexity_ai @AravSrinivas للحين انتظار
@perplexity_ai UKMaxxing yesterday the UK Govt set up £1 billion funding to push the country’s ability to develop and deploy AI technologies n now great to see @perplexity_ai starting billion pound build competition
@perplexity_ai Il try later
@perplexity_ai Any fund for India?
Excited by Perplexity’s Billion Pound Build! This isn’t just compute credits — it’s a launchpad for the first generation of truly AI-native companies. When agents can own entire workflows from idea to revenue, the bottleneck shifts from tools to bold vision and taste. The winners won’t copy existing models; they’ll invent new ones that amplify human potential at planetary scale. Ready to build.
