AI-powered web search that returns grounded answers with citations.
Why it matters
Perplexity returns cited, grounded answers from live web data rather than static model knowledge, making it more reliable for time-sensitive or factual queries.
Typical use cases
- Looking up recent news or current events
- Fact-checking a claim against live web sources
- Researching a topic and getting cited summaries
- Running multiple research queries in one script call
- Getting sourced answers without opening a browser
