Perplexity now shows Polymarket odds when users search for election odds.
Unresolvable The public record could not settle it.
Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?
What would count as true or false
The claim is that as of 2024-07-24 Perplexity shows Polymarket odds when users search for election odds. True: an announcement by Perplexity or Polymarket, Perplexity product documentation, or contemporaneous reporting or screenshots show the integration was live on or before about 2024-07-24 and showed Polymarket data for election-odds queries. Mostly true: the integration was live but with a minor difference in detail, e.g. limited to some queries or users, or in beta. Mixed: an integration had been announced or partly rolled out but was not generally visible. Mostly false: the integration came only clearly after that date, or showed something materially different (e.g. no Polymarket data). False: positive evidence shows no such integration existed at the time, e.g. it launched months later or reports deny it.

E2 Polymarket secures partnership with Perplexity amid open interest ... FXStreet · 13 August 2024
“Polymarket partnered with the Artificial Intelligence search engine Perplexity on Monday to enable news summaries on events for users, thereby enhancing the overall experience on the prediction market.”
Reasoning
E1 and E2 report a Perplexity–Polymarket partnership announced on 12 August 2024, nearly three weeks after the claim date. E2 describes that partnership as Perplexity providing news summaries on Polymarket's own platform. That is a different feature from Perplexity search showing Polymarket odds. Neither source says whether Perplexity search showed Polymarket odds for election queries on or before 24 July 2024, so the evidence neither confirms nor rules out the claim.
