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.
Private photo vault with offline AI search on your phone
AES-256-GCM envelope encryption with a PIN-derived key held only on the device. Vault items vanish from the system gallery and from other apps, unlockable by PIN or biometrics.
The semantic search model ships inside the app, so you can locate photos by describing them in natural language without an internet connection and without an account.
Indexing runs in the background on the phone and can be limited to charging time. The vault's index is encrypted with the vault key and read only while unlocked.
Sharing through Safelight removes GPS coordinates, capture time, camera model, serial number and edit history, losslessly for JPEG, PNG and WebP, while leaving the original untouched.
