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.
Learn deeper and create bolder with one AI studio
Save articles, videos, podcasts, and notes in one place, then start from a question or something that caught your eye.
Ask questions, connect ideas, and explore different perspectives with AI instead of relying only on surface summaries.
Turn what you learned into articles, slide decks, images, videos, and webpages, shaping each draft with AI until it matches your intent.
YouMind learns how you work over time and can turn that into reusable skills and playbooks you apply to new projects.
