Customers of Virgin Media and O2’s various broadband, mobile, phone and TV packages may like to know that their ‘Priority’ app, which rewards existing subscribers with various special offers and discounts, is now allowing access to AI-powered tool ‘Perplexity Pro‘ at no extra cost for one year (normally £150 per year).
The AI-powered research and search assistant is said to enable users to harness technology to make their life and work a little easier. But whereas a normal search will just share a list of links to different websites, Perplexity provides clearer answers with trusted, in-line citations and uses modern AI models to provide detailed answers.
Perplexity Pro also allows consumers to choose between the latest advanced AI models, including Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet, OpenAI’s GPT-4 Omni, and Perplexity’s Sonar model (built on Meta’s LlaMa 3.1). But you’ll only be able to get this free service between now and May 2025.
Lisa Johnstone, VMO2’s Director of Priority, Loyalty & Reward, said: “With more and more of us embracing AI to improve the way we work, shop and travel, the technology is becoming helpful in everyday digital life and we’re here to help our members navigate it with confidence. Whether our members want to plan a holiday or save money on their weekly shopping list, our new Perplexity Pro reward is like having an expert in your pocket to find the best deals and manage day-to-day needs. And save members over £150 in the process.”
