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.

Behavior-based consumer segmentation for retail marketers
Every U.S. household is classified into 17 high-level groups and 80 behavioral segments built from demographics, social media activity, mobile movement data, and credit card transactions.
Upload CRM contact lists or a store visitation report, or draw a polygon, to see which segments drive the most value or visit a location most — typically in minutes.
Compare your brand against competitors by segment and track how much each segment spends on different brands over time, using insights from 100M+ credit card transactions.
Export top segments for targeting across Meta, TikTok, Google, Snapchat, X, programmatic platforms, and direct mail, or enrich your CRM with demographic and segment codes.
