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.
Open-source DynamoDB capacity visualization with Amazon Bedrock AI insights
Connect with an AWS access key and secret key, then browse and monitor the DynamoDB tables in your account.
Pick a table and date range to generate clear graphs of provisioned versus consumed capacity, so you can judge whether provisioning is right-sized.
A one-click AI panel uses Amazon Bedrock (Mistral 7B Instruct by default) to turn raw capacity data into written insights and provisioning recommendations.
Optionally save generated analyses and metrics to a DynamoDB table in your own account, then regenerate graphs later to compare trends over time.
