Singapore – Telecommunications company Singtel is offering its broadband, television, and mobile customers a free one-year subscription to Perplexity Pro. All customers are set to receive the activation code for the subscription via their My Singtel App.
The offering comes after Singtel observed an increase in broadband and mobile traffic to AI domains recently, showcasing a higher demand for AI tools.
The artificial intelligence (AI) search service, ‘Perplexity Pro,’ aims to simplify how customers find information while responding to the demand for AI-powered tools.
Perplexity Pro provides concise and conversational answers to queries by consolidating information from multiple sources in real time, supplemented with in-line citations. It also summarises the response while allowing advanced file analysis and AI-image generation.
Additionally, users of Perplexity Pro can choose from AI models such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Grok to ensure their experience is tailored to their needs.
Perplexity Pro supports various languages, including English, Simplified Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish.
Ng Tian Chong, chief executive officer (CEO) of Singtel Singapore, said, “Consumers are increasingly using AI search platforms to help them with their everyday tasks, from looking up recipes and planning a travel itinerary to more academic uses like school research and business competitive analysis. We are offering this solution, created by leaders in AI, so our customers can get personalised assistance. This is in line with our commitment to bringing cutting-edge technologies into the hands of our customers, so more people can take advantage of what AI has to offer.”
Aravind Srinivas, CEO of Perplexity, said, “Telecoms make it possible for people to use Perplexity on their devices. As we expand to new markets, partnerships with leading telecommunications providers play a key role in our growth strategy. We appreciate Singtel’s commitment to innovation and utility and welcome the opportunity to make Perplexity Pro available to their subscribers for free for a year.”
