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.
Runtime data security for AI and SaaS workflows
Build context-driven policies for your organisation's unique AI usage, then group human and non-human identities to control how each can interact with data.
Continuously monitor data in motion and at rest and label sensitive assets according to your own security policies.
Reports and risk scores surface shadow AI usage, insider threats and misconfigurations so priorities are clear.
Redact sensitive data, revoke file access and trigger custom workflows in real time, with or without human approval.
