Friendly AI "hounds" that automate the busywork small businesses repeat all day
Describe the job you want handled in normal language and DocsHound builds the assistant — no engineers, no integration project, no AI training required.
Run separate assistants for different processes, clients, or properties so each one stays focused and the work never gets crossed.
Handles intake, quotes and estimates, bookings with confirmations, application and form collection, and follow-ups that arrive ready to action.
Responds to hours, pricing, service-area, and capability questions around the clock, and flags genuine leads for a human callback.
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.
