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.
No-code AI teammates that live in your Slack and Teams channels
Create agents like @Support or @SalesOps with an owner and a defined toolset, then let the whole channel @mention them.
Agents answer from connected Notion, Google Drive, and Confluence content plus past tickets, so replies reflect your actual docs.
Beyond answering, agents read from and act in more than 2,000 integrations, including HubSpot, Zendesk, Sheets, Gmail, and calendars.
Describe the job in a Slack conversation; Runbear asks clarifying questions and deploys the agent to the right channel.
