At Perplexity, we care a lot about building products that feel amazing to use. For Perplexity Comet, our agentic browser, and Perplexity Computer, our powerful, general-purpose digital worker, a big part of that was making these fully usable through voice. There is something uniquely satisfying about being able to just say what you want, hand off the task, and watch it go. We are bullish on voice as an interface because it makes the actual interaction feel a little closer to magic.

We used Realtime-1.5 in production to bring that magic to the millions of voice sessions Perplexity manages every month. Watching the growth of voice through Computer’s interface has been incredibly exciting and educational. We’ll share a few of the surprising things we’ve learned so far. We encourage you to try Realtime-1.5 and share what you learn with us too.
