Read.cv has announced in a blog post titled "A new chapter" that it is winding down operations to join Perplexity. For those unfamiliar, Read.cv is like the artsy cousin of LinkedIn, offering a clean, minimalist platform to showcase your work, projects, and even side hustles. Andy Chung from Read.cv also shared the news with his followers on X:
Today I’m excited to share that @read_cv is joining the team at @perplexity_ai in their mission to make the world's knowledge more accessible to everyone. This is incredibly bittersweet for us, as the start of this new chapter will mark the end of our time with @read_cv.

New user registration, new domain registration, and payments will stop.

All domains registered via Read.cv will migrate to our partners at hello.cv, where you can continue to manage DNS, name servers, and renewal.

Read.cv and Posts will switch to read-only mode (until May 16, 2025).

Perplexity, the company acquiring Read.cv, is a conversational search engine similar to ChatGPT Search that uses LLMs to answer user queries. It processed as many as 250 million queries last July. The company has been active since 2022 and received funding from Jeff Bezos and NVIDIA early the previous year.
