Today we’re introducing the Sonar and Sonar Pro API, allowing developers to build apps with generative search capabilities powered by unparalleled real-time, web-wide research and the Perplexity features you’ve come to expect, like citations.

Companies that have integrated Sonar have seen big wins — such as Zoom, which uses Perplexity’s API to strengthen native search in their AI Companion 2.0 product.

Sonar Pro outperformed leading search engines and LLMs in terms of answer quality in recent SimpleQA benchmark findings.

Plus, your data is secure: Perplexity does not conduct LLM training on your data.

Introducing Perplexity Assistant. Assistant uses reasoning, search, and apps to help with daily tasks ranging from simple questions to multi-app actions. You can book dinner, find a forgotten song, call a ride, draft emails, set reminders, and more.

Here’s how it works:

• Perplexity Assistant browses the web to complete tasks for you. For example, if you want to be reminded of a public event, it will find the correct time and date and set an intelligent reminder.
• It also maintains context from one action to another — if you’re researching restaurants in your area and want to reserve a table, choose an option and Assistant will help book it.
• Assistant is multimodal, so you can tell it to turn on the camera and ask about what you see in front of you, or on your screen.

These are just a few examples of what it can do. Excited to see how you use it!

Introducing Perplexity Deep Research

Deep Research lets you generate in-depth research reports on any topic. When you ask a Deep Research a question, Perplexity performs dozens of searches, reads hundreds of sources, and reasons through the material to autonomously deliver a comprehensive report. It excels at a range of expert-level tasks—from finance and marketing to product research—and attains high benchmarks on Humanity’s Last Exam.

Available to everyone for free—up to 5 queries per day for non-subscribers and 500 queries per day for Pro users.

Deep Research is available on Web starting today and will soon be rolling out to iOS, Android, and Mac. (Be sure to update your apps to the latest version.)
