Ask Perplexity makes your tweet into an 8-second AI video with sound, animation, and voiceover, no app required.
Perplexity AI made a daring step forward in generative technology with the release of its groundbreaking AI Video Generation feature—a feature that’s already winning over creators and social media enthusiasts.
Only accessible via its @AskPerplexity handle on X (formerly Twitter), this new feature enables users to create 8-second, hyper-realistic AI videos by simply tweeting a prompt.
How Does It Work?
The feature requires no downloads, logins, or installations. Users can type out a creative concept, include @AskPerplexity, and wait for a brief video response to come back to them, in full with realistic animation, sound, and dialogue. From surreal animation to cultural commentary, the first users to have tried the platform have already filled it with such requests as “Samosa eating competition on Mars” or “Imran Khan playing chess with Einstein.”

Why This Matters?
This launch represents a breakthrough in AI-driven content generation, fusing accessibility with visual narrative. In contrast to other platforms that need specialized apps or subscriptions, Perplexity’s model is frictionless, making creativity democratically accessible.
Built-In Safety & Responsible Use
With great ability comes great obligation. Perplexity’s staff allegedly integrated strong controls to ensure misuse, particularly against impersonation of actual individuals. The system continually scans prompts and answers for ethical suitability, building on the rising need for AI safety and trust.
What’s Next?
Though currently restricted to X, the company has indicated expansion potential, which could be longer-form, collaborative tools and creator monetization. The feature remains in beta, so delays in reply will at times occur because of high usage.
