Describe your idea in chat and Lovable turns it into a working app or website
Describe features in everyday language and the builder creates or edits the UI, logic, and structure of a full-stack web app.
Generate front ends, backend functions, and database-backed features rather than static mockups, so the result can actually run.
Ship your project to a shareable live URL, then point a custom domain at it when you are ready to launch.
Wire the app to external APIs and services, and add AI-powered functionality such as chat, search, or generation directly inside your product.
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.
