Tencent's AI knowledge steward for searching, reading, writing, and managing your own knowledge base.
Build personal and shared knowledge bases from documents, web pages, and notes, then question them with context-aware AI answers.
Ask questions against web-wide results when your own library does not cover the topic, with citations back to sources.
Move from finding material to reading, annotating, and drafting output in a single connected workspace.
Turn accumulated knowledge into summaries, reports, presentations, and podcasts without leaving the assistant.

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.
