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.
Run surveys, AI interviews, and usability tests in one research workspace
An AI moderator conducts qualitative interviews, asks adaptive follow-up questions, and transcribes responses in dozens of languages, replacing hours of manual 1:1 sessions.
Build branching surveys with more than twenty question types, or run card sorts, tree tests, and Figma or live-website tasks to validate flows before you build.
AI personas evaluate prototypes, messaging, and concepts on demand, so you can pre-screen ideas or gather directional feedback before spending budget on real respondents.
An assistant clusters themes, drafts summaries and recommendations from interview transcripts, and lets you export raw data when you want to run your own analysis.
