AI detection and writing verification built for schools and editors
Paste text or upload a document and get an overall AI probability score plus a sentence-by-sentence breakdown of which parts look machine-written.
Flags AI text from major model families including ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Llama, and others, rather than training for a single model.
A Chrome extension and Google Docs add-on bring scanning into Gmail, Docs, Classroom, and other surfaces you already work in.
Checks content for copied passages from outside sources so you can separate AI-generation questions from originality questions.
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.
