Perplexity

Perplexity AI is a real-time answer engine that fuses GPT-4-grade language models with live web retrieval, delivering concise, fully cited responses instead of endless links. Focus filters, Pro Search threads, and trust-scored citations turn days of research into minutes, while API access and enterprise-grade privacy make it the fastest, most transparent knowledge partner for analysts, marketers, and educators.

Pro Search Mode

Pro Search unlocks multi-turn dialogue. Users can refine context (“Focus on 2024 clinical trials only”) or request follow-up calculations (“Sum the total sample size across those trials”). The system retains conversational memory, making iterative research faster than manual query reformulation.

Collections & Threads

Collections allow users to save, tag, and share answer threads. A marketing team can build a “Q3 Competitive Intel” collection, while a PhD student can curate “Emerging CRISPR Studies.” Each thread can be exported to Markdown, PDF, or Notion with citations intact.

Focus Filters

Focus Filters narrow the retrieval scope to specific verticals: Academic, Wolfram|Alpha, Reddit, YouTube, or Finance. For instance, selecting “Finance” restricts sources to SEC filings, earnings call transcripts, and analyst reports—ideal for due-diligence workflows.
