Applications are now open for the Perplexity Discover Curators Program, a new creator opportunity inviting knowledgeable and curious individuals to help shape the content featured on Perplexity’s global Discover feed.
The programme is seeking its first 25 curators to create engaging Pages covering areas of specialised knowledge, including technology and science, finance, arts and culture, entertainment, sports and other fields. Selected curators will have an opportunity to share their expertise with a global audience while helping shape one of Perplexity’s emerging content initiatives.
The programme requires a commitment of approximately 30–60 minutes per week and applications are being reviewed on a rolling basis.
What Is the Perplexity Discover Curators Program?
Perplexity Discover is a curated feed featuring trending topics, deep dives and fresh perspectives. The content is created using Perplexity Pages, allowing creators to develop informative and engaging resources around topics they understand or are interested in exploring.
Through the Discover Curators Program, Perplexity is opening the platform to external creators who can contribute their own knowledge, perspectives and discoveries.
The company describes the concept as being similar to combining Pinterest boards with Wikipedia, but built using Perplexity. The programme is therefore designed for people who enjoy finding interesting information, organising knowledge and sharing useful discoveries with others.
For selected participants, the programme provides an opportunity to experiment with content creation while potentially reaching audiences beyond their existing social media or professional networks.
Who Is Perplexity Looking For?
The programme is aimed at people who are naturally curious and enjoy sharing information.
One of the key qualities Perplexity is seeking is a genuine passion for discovery. Ideal candidates are people who enjoy learning about new subjects and sharing interesting findings with friends, colleagues or online audiences.
The programme is also looking for individuals with specialised knowledge or experience in particular fields. Examples highlighted by Perplexity include:
- Technology and science
- Finance
- Arts and culture
- Entertainment
- Sports
- Other specialised areas of knowledge
Applicants do not necessarily need to be professional journalists or established content creators. The emphasis is on curiosity, knowledge and the ability to create Pages that can inform, inspire or surprise a global audience.
How Much Time Is Required?
The programme has been designed to accommodate people who already have professional, academic or creative commitments.
Selected curators are expected to dedicate approximately 30 to 60 minutes per week to the programme.
This relatively modest time commitment makes the opportunity potentially suitable for students, researchers, professionals, creators, industry specialists and other individuals who want to contribute without taking on a full-time content role.
Applicants should nevertheless be prepared to consistently participate and produce useful content within the expected commitment.
What Do Selected Curators Receive?
One of the major attractions of the Perplexity Discover Curators Program is the opportunity for global exposure.
Pages selected by Perplexity’s editors may be shared through the Discover feed and made available to a worldwide audience. For creators, this can provide an opportunity to showcase their expertise and perspectives to people beyond their existing networks.
Selected curators will also receive a verified badge displayed alongside their names on their published Pages. This can provide an additional layer of credibility and recognition for contributors.
The programme also offers several rewards.
Selected curators will receive free Perplexity Pro, while top participants may have the opportunity to receive exclusive Perplexity merchandise.
For individuals interested in artificial intelligence, research, digital content and knowledge sharing, access to Perplexity Pro can also provide an opportunity to explore the platform’s capabilities while creating content.
Help Shape a New Perplexity Initiative
Another important feature of the programme is that participants will be among the first 25 curators.
This means selected participants will not simply be joining an established creator programme. They will have an opportunity to help shape the development of the Discover Curators Program itself.
Early participants can potentially provide feedback, experiment with different types of Pages and contribute ideas that could influence how the initiative evolves.
For creators who enjoy experimenting with emerging technology and new forms of digital storytelling, this early-stage aspect could make the programme particularly appealing.
Why Should Creators Consider Applying?
The Perplexity Discover Curators Program offers a combination of content creation, global visibility, professional credibility and access to AI tools.
For specialists, it can provide another channel through which to demonstrate knowledge in a particular field. For creators, it offers an opportunity to develop informative Pages and potentially reach new audiences.
Students and early-career professionals may also find the programme useful for building an online portfolio around their interests and expertise.
The relatively small weekly time requirement means participants can potentially integrate the programme into their existing schedules.
However, because only the first 25 curators are being selected, interested applicants should consider applying early rather than waiting until later in the recruitment process.
How to Apply for the Perplexity Discover Curator Program
Applications are currently open and are being reviewed on a rolling basis.
Interested individuals should complete the official application and provide information demonstrating their curiosity, specialised knowledge and suitability for the programme.
Applicants should consider highlighting the subjects they understand particularly well, the areas they enjoy exploring and how they could create Pages that would be valuable or interesting to a global Discover audience.
The official programme page provides additional information and access to the application form.
Final Thoughts
The Perplexity Discover Curators Program presents an opportunity for knowledgeable and curious individuals to participate in the development of a new AI-powered content initiative.

Interested applicants should review the requirements and apply as soon as possible, as applications are being considered on a rolling basis.
