Memory, a new streamlined UI, and Perplexity x Cristiano Ronaldo

Memory

Perplexity now remembers your threads and interests to provide smarter, faster, and more personalised answers. It works across all models and search modes, picks up on personal preferences like favourite brands, hobbies, and active projects, and in Comet can even pull context from open tabs to deliver assistance tailored to you and your task.

You have complete control over what Perplexity remembers. View, delete, or turn off saved memories at any time in your settings. Memories and search history are automatically disabled in incognito mode. Read our blog post to learn more, and see memory in action by asking Perplexity things like:

  • What should my next book be?
  • What gifts should I buy for my mum and brother for the holidays?
  • Recommend new running shoes for me

Streamlined experience

Conversational look & feel

We’ve honed Perplexity’s interface to feel more conversational while providing easier access to search results. Here’s what’s new:

  • Chat messages: Your inputs are now displayed as a chat bubble in a simplified experience, supporting more natural back-and-forth exchanges across Perplexity and Comet Assistant.
  • Universal tabs: You can now instantly access search results including Links, Images, Videos, Shopping, Places, and more directly from the top of each thread.

These updates are live on web and coming soon to iOS and Android.

More useful sidebar menu

We’ve updated the sidebar menu on web to incorporate three popular requests:

  • Library: Your Library of past threads is now at the top of the menu. Clicking opens your Library, while hovering reveals your bookmarks and an expanded list of recent conversations.
  • Rename and delete: You can now rename and delete threads directly from the sidebar itself by clicking the ellipsis icon that appears for each recent thread.
  • Customise: Control which shortcuts appear in the menu (like Finance, Academic, Shopping, and more) by selecting “Customise menu” from the “More” menu.

Perplexity x Cristiano Ronaldo

Yesterday we announced a global partnership with Cristiano Ronaldo, aligning his legacy of self-improvement with an AI answer engine built for people who expect the same from their tools. To mark the partnership, we launched a Cristiano Ronaldo hub: an interactive CR7 experience where fans can explore his career, see rare images, browse curated questions, relive iconic goals, and dig into the stories behind them.
