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.

Your AI writing assistant, inside every app on Mac and iPhone
Select text anywhere on Mac or iPhone, run an action, and the improved result is inserted in place — no copy-pasting between tools.
Bring your own prompts, choose your preferred models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google on Pro) and build repeatable workflows that sound like you.
Turn speech into clean, formatted text with Voice Mode and AI Dictation without leaving the app you are working in.
See every AI change and revert individual edits while keeping the rest, so you keep full control of the output.
