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.
An AI writing workspace that drafts from page-cited evidence and reviews your document's integrity
The ChatPDF tool answers questions about a paper using retrieved excerpts and verifies citations verbatim, so answers stay tied to a specific page.
Turn an approved outline and selected evidence into a draft in a resumable workspace that carries your quotes forward without pasting blind.
Findings must quote your document verbatim and are discarded if the excerpt cannot be found, so every flag points to something you can check.
The AI Detector surfaces review signals you can inspect rather than a single black-box percentage, and is framed as supporting evidence.
