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.

Know exactly why customers buy — and why they don't
Ask buyers why they purchased right at checkout and tie every answer to a real Shopify order, so you see revenue, AOV and repeat rate by channel.
Catch visitors as they are about to leave and learn what stopped them from converting, so you can fix friction at the point it happens.
Ask the 0 to 10 question on the thank-you page, by email or by SMS, with each score arriving alongside the order and the reason behind it.
AI analyses free-text answers in real time, and you can ask plain-English questions about your data and get answers in seconds.
