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.

Build AI chatbots and agents for your clients — your keys, your models, your control
Connect OpenAI, Anthropic or Google Gemini and switch models in seconds without changing code, so you are never locked to a single provider and can optimize cost as pricing changes.
Publish one chatbot configuration to an embeddable website widget, Slack workspaces (DMs and channel mentions) and an email agent that reads and answers over IMAP/SMTP — same knowledge, same personality.
Train on PDFs, Word and Markdown documents, full website crawls or specific pages, structured CSV/JSON datasets, YouTube videos and playlists with automatic transcripts, and FAQ pairs for exact answers.
Start with a simple Q&A chatbot and extend it into an agent that can query databases, kick off workflows and call external APIs without migrating to another tool.
