AI copilot for discovering and understanding ML research
Ask a research question in ordinary language and get relevant papers instead of guessing keywords.
A broad index of machine learning literature that keeps growing with new arXiv submissions.
Paste an arXiv link or identifier to get a focused explanation of one paper's content and contributions.
Browse a continuously updated stream of new ML papers so you can spot trends early.
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.
