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.

Upload a file and get an immediate data quality score plus an AI-written cleaning plan covering what to drop, what to preserve and why, along with an executive summary of possible story angles.
Specialised agents plan the approach, write the Python, execute and self-correct, then interpret results, with chain-of-thought transparency showing the reasoning, code and decisions at each step.
Each question produces a structured, permanent page with tables, charts, statistical tests and interpretation, and the workspace remembers prior pages so new work builds on earlier findings.
The platform detects your field automatically or accepts up to two manual selections from twelve specialisations, and applies appropriate methods such as IV/2SLS, GARCH or Cox proportional hazards.
