An AI knowledge base that emails you what you read yesterday
Save web pages, text notes, images, YouTube videos and podcasts into a single personal knowledge base, so your reading and watching live in one place.
Ask questions to your saved knowledge base and get answers grounded in the material you have collected rather than the open web.
Explore a visual map of how your items relate and mine the collection for connections, themes and blind spots you might have overlooked.
Get a daily newsletter of what you read yesterday, or listen to it as a podcast. A lightweight way to review and retain what you have learned.
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.
