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.

Frontier-model AI resolves tickets that span several tools and steps, such as holding a shipment, saving a subscription and updating billing systems, rather than only replying with text.
Email, chat, SMS, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and phone all land in a single shared inbox, and the AI answers on each channel, including voice calls.
An implementation manager moves your data, builds integrations, writes your SOPs and tests the setup with your team, so you are not left to configure automation alone.
Each brand or store gets its own AI tone, rules and reporting inside one workspace, keeping multi-brand support consistent and on-brand.
