The AI-powered interface for every database you run
Type a question in plain English and get an instant answer drawn from your connected data, without writing SQL by hand.
The AI editor reviews your SQL, corrects mistakes and suggests improvements, then turns result sets into presentation-ready charts automatically.
A snappy grid built from scratch for fast navigation of large tables, with customizable table plugins and edit-in-place controls.
Compose analytics boards manually or hand them to the AI, then embed charts anywhere using open-source web components.
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.
