Real-time AI answer engine and research workspace combining live web citations with frontier reasoning models.

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.
