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.

Find just the right word with an AI-powered Mac thesaurus.
Enter a single term, a phrase, an acronym or slang and get a diverse set of alternative words and similar expressions instead of a fixed dictionary list.
Switch between local Apple Intelligence models for offline private lookups and faster cloud models such as Cerebras for lower-latency results.
Keep the app as a small floating panel above your other windows so the right word is always a glance away while you write.
Choose from multiple leather-textured skins to match the look of your desktop setup.
