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.
Ask once, let several AI models compete, and get the single best answer
Ask once and eligible paid requests run through multiple supported models; an internal judge system compares the replies and returns one winner with the reasoning behind the choice.
Purpose-built tools for decision pressure-testing, scenario planning, code review, content gap analysis, audience insights, memory mapping and security threat modelling, each with its own prompt and output format.
A speech-to-speech assistant that answers in Hindi, English or Hinglish, remembers earlier conversations, sets reminders by voice and performs tasks live on a screen beside the conversation.
Large questions are split into parallel research threads where autonomous agents search the live web, two engines cross-examine the evidence, and a judge picks the stronger report.
