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.
AI photo geolocalization — find where any image was taken
Predicts photo locations from visual content alone — architecture, landscape, vegetation, signage — with no dependence on EXIF or embedded GPS tags.
Returns multiple ranked candidate locations, each with a confidence score, so you can judge the most plausible match.
Search worldwide, restrict results to a chosen country, or focus on a specific area selected on the interactive map.
Displays predicted latitude/longitude, timestamp and camera details, with an openable and downloadable Google Maps view.
Offers deeper conversational reasoning and coding agents, but lacks Perplexity's dedicated inline citation-first search layout.
