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.
No-code AI agents grounded in your company's knowledge
Configure AI agents through a visual interface, connect company data for context-aware actions, and swap between models without rewriting your setup.
Ground agents in internal docs, wikis and tools so they can research and act on company knowledge alongside the public web.
Build multi-step automations in a node-based editor and schedule agents to run recurring work even when you are offline, delivering results to your inbox.
A browser extension brings the same agent experience to thousands of apps and websites, avoiding constant context switching.
