Run many coding agents in parallel, each in its own worktree
Each agent gets its own isolated Git worktree, so multiple agents can edit, test and build concurrently without conflicts.
Works with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor CLI, OpenCode, Copilot, Cline and many other command-line agents using subscriptions you already have.
A built-in browser lets you click any element to copy its HTML, styles and selector, or screenshot a page and drop that context straight into an agent prompt.
Review AI output, run commands and arrange terminals, browsers, files and diffs in panes shaped to the task at hand.
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.
