Perplexity Integration

The Perplexity Integration allows your app to use Perplexity to deliver fast, accurate, retrieval-augmented answers from the web and trusted sources. Once connected, you can use Perplexity to enhance search, summarization, and real-time knowledge in your workflows.

What You Can Do

With Perplexity, your app can:

• Retrieve real-time information from the web to ground model outputs.
• Generate concise summaries and answers with citations.
• Power search experiences, research assistants, and contextual AI features.
