PerplexityfeatureDeep Research in Computer
Perplexity's deep research tool now runs as a built-in skill inside Computer, its agent, for Pro and Max subscribers.
Details
- Deep Research now runs as a native skill inside Computer, Perplexity's agent, sharing the same harness: search, long-running sandboxes, connectors, tools, and licensed data
- It is built on Perplexity's Search as Code architecture, where the model writes code that assembles the search itself and runs thousands of retrieval steps in parallel for each question
- Perplexity says it beats its previous Deep Research on every benchmark it tested
Best for
long, multi-step research that pulls from live web search, connected tools, and licensed data in a single run
When to use it
a question needs thorough, sourced research across many steps, not a quick one-shot search
Who benefits
analysts, researchers, and anyone doing heavy desk research inside Computer
