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.

Purpose-built agents cover the front door, the rep's desktop, and post-resolution work: L1 self-service answers, rep assistance, intelligent routing, escalation prediction, case QA auditing, and knowledge drafting.
Every answer and action retrieves from your connected knowledge and systems first and displays its citations, with configurable confidence thresholds and automatic handoff to a person when the agent cannot ground its response.
One relevance layer over knowledge bases, docs, communities, SharePoint, Jira and ticketing systems, with faceted search, governance, search tuning, and long-standing analyst recognition.
Native integrations with Salesforce, ServiceNow, Zendesk, Slack, Khoros, MadCap Flare, SharePoint and dozens more, plus MCP so agents can pull logs, open tickets, and swarm engineering channels directly.
