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.)

To give it a try, go to plex.it and select “Deep Research” from the mode selector in the search box before submitting your query.
