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.
Production AI for the enterprise, deployed inside your own cloud
Every model and agent is tested before release and monitored afterward, with visibility into each run and decision plus alerts when quality slips.
Rules an agent cannot break, combined with human sign-off before risky actions, configured once and enforced across the platform.
Agents execute multi-step work across your existing tools and produce a record of every action they take, carrying context between runs so they never start from zero.
Describe the problem and get a production model served behind an API, retrained as your data changes — with warehouses, lakes, and streams connected without data leaving your cloud.
