Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) announced the launch of a new search tool, Truth Search AI, integrated into the Truth Social platform and developed in collaboration with Perplexity AI.
Launch of Truth Search AI
Truth Search AI is currently in the testing phase on the Truth Social website and will soon be available on mobile applications. This innovation aligns with U.S. President Donald Trump's goals to enhance the country's leadership in artificial intelligence. TMTG's CEO, Devin Nunes, stated that the new tool would enhance the functionality of Truth Social and help users access the information they need. He mentioned that user feedback will be used for further improvements.
Controversy Surrounding Perplexity AI
However, the new AI tool faces criticism. Perplexity AI's prospects are questioned as companies like BBC and Forbes have accused the startup of using their content without permission. Specifically, in June 2025, BBC threatened legal action against Perplexity. Nevertheless, the company denied these allegations. Initial tests show that Truth Search AI often refers to conservative sources, but Perplexity claims users can adjust the sources of information.
The Future of Truth Social
With over 10 million users, Truth Social continues to expand its services, including Truth+ (a streaming platform) and Truth.Fi (a financial brand). The testing phase for Truth Search AI is crucial for its refinement, especially amid growing concerns about misinformation and one-sided viewpoints.
The implementation of AI in Truth Social through Truth Search AI highlights TMTG's commitment to technological innovation. However, the company must address a number of issues related to copyright and source diversity.
