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.
Simulate any business decision before you make it
Put a decision such as a price change, launch or brand campaign through the engine and see how customers, competitors, press, regulators and partners are likely to react.
AI moderates interviews end to end with live follow-ups, then synthesizes the responses without you transcribing anything.
Drop in a URL, prototype or Figma file and have real or synthetic users think out loud, turning raw sessions into insight in minutes.
One interview can create a digital twin with 70–85% behavioral fidelity, or generate synthetic personas for a described audience on the spot.
