E68: Jeff Grimes of Perplexity on the New AI-Native Analyst

Sasha Orloff and Jeff Grimes, Perplexity’s Product Lead for Finance, explore the evolution of search from a simple "answer engine" to a high-stakes "action engine." They discuss the disruption of legacy platforms like the Bloomberg Terminal and how Perplexity is building an AI-native operating system designed specifically for the rigors of financial analysis. The conversation tackles the industry's skepticism toward AI accuracy, detailing the "auditability-first" approach that allows finance teams to verify every data point back to its original SEC filing, effectively turning complex technical workflows into plain-English commands.
