AI workspace for serious work and research with multiple top models
Work with GPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, and Grok in one conversation, or compare responses side by side to weigh different perspectives.
Create persistent AI partners with defined roles and instructions that gradually learn your preferences, all editable and deletable.
Read documents and spreadsheets, run code, build charts, and produce files in a cloud environment isolated from your local device.
Develop images, scientific figures, diagrams, slides, audio, and video in the same workspace from first sketch to final revision.
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.
