Open-source RAG platform for reliable AI chat and search
Combines agentic reasoning with hybrid search and reranking to produce accurate answers even on large, messy document sets.
Every answer includes references to the source passages, so users can verify where an answer came from.
Indexes text plus images, charts, tables and 22+ file formats such as PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, HTML and EML via ready-made SDKs.
Plug in your own LLM, embedding model and vector database, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Cohere, Pinecone and Qdrant.
Real-time AI answer engine and research workspace combining live web citations with frontier reasoning models.
Executes multi-step iterative web and document research across hundreds of sources, cross-checking facts and generating structured, citation-backed analytical reports that can be exported as PDFs or shared as interactive Perplexity Pages.
Lets Pro and Max subscribers switch dynamically between Perplexity's in-house Sonar models and top external models (including Claude 4, o3-pro, and Gemini) or compare multi-model reasoning outputs side by side.
Provides dedicated project workspaces where users upload local PDFs, spreadsheets, and text files, configure custom assistant instructions, and run queries that combine private document retrieval with live internet search.
Extends Perplexity from passive Q&A into agentic execution, turning high-level user requests into completed workflows, multi-tab browser actions, and automated data synthesis via the Comet ecosystem.

Offers deeper conversational reasoning and coding agents, but lacks Perplexity's dedicated inline citation-first search layout.
