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.

Real browser-rendered search that returns structured JSON with fresh, uncached results from the live web, with no search fee.

Full cloud browser sessions with persistent state that you drive with Playwright, Puppeteer or the Chrome DevTools Protocol.
Give an agent a goal in plain English and it navigates, fills forms and returns structured results; monitoring fires alerts when a tracked page or topic changes.
