See each developer's real contribution in the age of AI-generated code
Analyzes commits, pull requests, reviews and discussion to show the decisions and architectural impact behind each developer's work, not just output volume.
Visual views that compare contributors across dimensions so team leads can spot strengths, gaps and shifts in how each person is contributing.
Automatically generated summaries of repository and team activity, giving engineering managers a regular narrative they can share or act on.
Install from the GitHub Marketplace, choose which repositories to analyze, and data loads within minutes with daily automatic updates.
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.
