Truth Social Launches AI Search Engine Powered by Perplexity
Washington, D.C. – Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the parent company of Truth Social, has officially launched an AI-powered search engine called Truth Search AI. The new tool, developed in partnership with artificial intelligence startup Perplexity, is currently available in public beta on the platform’s web version and will soon expand to iOS and Android apps.
AI-Powered Search with a Conservative Edge
Truth Search AI integrates Perplexity’s advanced search technology, enabling users to receive conversational, AI-generated results with references. TMTG leaders say the system is designed to enhance the platform’s role in the growing “Patriot Economy” by offering an alternative to mainstream search services dominated by Big Tech.
The tool gives Truth Social the ability to customize and filter the sources that inform its responses, reinforcing its mission to serve as a conservative technology platform for users seeking alternatives to Google, Bing, and other major players.
Building Better Safety Tools
Early users of the beta have noted that the AI search often highlights conservative-leaning media outlets. However, in some cases the system has delivered fact-based responses that contradict political narratives promoted by Donald Trump and his allies. This has sparked debate over whether AI can be fully aligned with partisan agendas—or if it will inevitably surface inconvenient truths despite platform controls.
Perplexity Partnership and Broader Implications
The decision to partner with Perplexity highlights both opportunity and controversy. Perplexity has emerged as a fast-growing challenger in the AI search market, offering real-time answers with conversational clarity. At the same time, the company has faced legal and ethical scrutiny over content use and its rapid growth, raising questions about the sustainability of its model.
For TMTG, the collaboration marks another step in building out its alternative tech ecosystem. Alongside social media, streaming, and financial services, the new AI search feature aims to strengthen Truth Social’s position as the flagship platform of the conservative digital movement.
What’s Next
- The beta version of Truth Search AI is live on the web.
- A mobile rollout is planned for the coming weeks.
- TMTG says it will continue refining the feature based on user feedback.
As Truth Social positions itself at the intersection of politics, technology, and AI, the launch of Truth Search AI signals a bold move to capture users who want more control over information access—and who feel underserved by existing platforms.
