Turn plain English into ready-to-run Linux commands at the prompt
Describe what you want to accomplish in ordinary English and receive a Linux command that matches the intent.
The helper works from the command line itself, so you avoid context switching to a browser or documentation site.
A simple keyword prefix lets you call the assistant only when you need it, keeping normal shell usage unchanged.
Setup instructions are distributed through the project's GitHub repository, and the site collects email addresses for release news.
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.
