Perplexity Research
Get cited, up-to-the-minute answers and deep research reports from across the web
About this skill
Perplexity Research connects your assistant to Perplexity's live web search, so answers come with real citations and current sources instead of stale memory. It can do quick fact-checks, conversational answers, or run a deep multi-step research report on a topic you care about. It uses your own Perplexity API key and only sends your query text to Perplexity, never your files or device data.
