- Perplexity AI debuts AI video generation from its bot on X
- The feature is accessible to any user of the platform for free.
- The generated videos last up to eight seconds, include audio and can have dialogue.
- Protection against deepfakes and ethical use are key points of the launch.
The generation of multimedia content with artificial intelligence continues to evolve at great speed, and in this context, Perplexity AI has taken a notable step forward launch a feature that allows you to automatically create videos within the X social network (formerly Twitter). This tool, managed by the Ask Perplexity bot, makes it possible for any user of the platform to obtain animated clips of up to eight seconds simply tagging the bot and describing the scene you want to see.
The growth of AI-based features within X has been steady, but until now most bots were limited to text or static images. With this move, Perplexity AI leads the way in multimedia creative capabilities available to the average user, marking a difference with other solutions such as Grok from xAI, which do not yet offer anything similar.
How does AI video generation work in X?
The method of use is very simple and is open to the entire network community.: : you just need to create a post mentioning @AskPerplexity, along with a brief description of the video you want to obtain. The bot processes that text, generates the requested clip and responds to the user in a few seconds with the result.There is an additional option to include an image alongside the request, which provides greater visual context to the model before creating the content.
The result is a short video, up to eight seconds, that includes synthetic audio.. Users can request that the clip contain dialogue between characters, although the bot applies a Strict criteria to avoid potentially problematic content or content that imitates public figures with excessive realism.
The generated videos are simple but functional and allow for quick and accessible creativity experimentation. The exact model used has not been officially confirmed, but there are rumors that it could be a version of Google Veo 3. However, This information has not been confirmed by Perplexity.
Limitations and security measures implemented
The company has established restrictions to prevent abuse and malicious use.For example, algorithms detect when a user attempts to create realistic videos of celebrities or public figures and automatically alter the representation so that it doesn't accurately resemble the requested person. This is part of a strategy to combat known deepfakes and protect the identity of real people.
Furthermore, Not all requests are acceptedThe project managers have made it clear that there are content limits, especially on sensitive topics or potentially offensive requests. On recent occasions, The bot itself has responded in a humorous tone to overly extravagant requests., suggesting that there are demands that even AI cannot process, which adds a close and casual tone to the interaction.
What does it offer compared to other bots and possible uses?
Compared to other AI assistants present in X, Ask Perplexity stands out for its ability to provide audiovisual responses to requests.. Not even alternatives like Grok allow this kind of interaction for now. This It opens up new possibilities for creating interactive content, memes, or educational resources without the need for prior technical knowledge..
The fact that Video generation is done without additional registration or cost -just use the X platform and the bot mentioned– makes the tool accessible, which can attract both curious users and content creators looking for new formats to share with their communities.
It should be noted that, at the moment, the generated videos have a fairly short maximum duration, although It is not ruled out that functions will be expanded in the future, allowing for longer scenes, greater narrative variety, or even integration of special effects and automatic editing.
Aspects to take into account and first steps
For those who want to try the feature, You just need to post a message on X including @AskPerplexity and the text or image with the description of what you want to see in the video. The result arrives in a few seconds, although:
- Not all applications are valid, especially if they touch on restricted topics.
- Representations of real people will be deliberately altered.
- The response may take a few seconds., depending on the complexity and traffic in the system.
This feature stands out as yet another example of how artificial intelligence continues to gain ground in the creation of digital content., facilitating new forms of audiovisual expression accessible to all, without the need for advanced editing or design knowledge.
