07-Oct-2025
Visual Electric announced that it is joining Perplexity, marking the next step in the company’s journey and bringing notable changes for existing users. In a note to customers, the team says Visual Electric has been acquired by Perplexity and that, over the next 90 days, the standalone VE product will be sunset. During this transition period, customers will continue to have access to their accounts, “volts,” and existing work. The company states that annual subscribers will automatically receive prorated refunds and all users will be able to export their data; support will be available via the usual channels for anyone who needs help. As part of the move, the Visual Electric team will form a new Agent Experiences group inside Perplexity, focusing on building creative, user-centric features that align with Perplexity’s broader mission. The announcement closes with a thank-you to the community and a note that existing VE users should watch their inboxes for a small gift from Perplexity.
