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.
AI facilitators that turn curriculums into explorable learning
Multiple AI facilitators, each with a persona suited to a subject and learner need, act as non-judgmental co-thinkers instead of answer dispensers.
Teachers build courses, lesson plans and activities that can be assigned to individuals or groups, refined over time, shared with colleagues or published to a gallery.
Students receive instant layered feedback on inquiries, while topical quizzes and essays give teachers qualitative and quantitative signals on mastery.
Daily progress, cumulative progress, detailed mastery reports and wellness reports help teachers see where each learner stands.
