Comet for Students
All students worldwide now get early access to Comet. Ask Comet to manage your schedule, order textbooks, or prepare for exams with Study Mode.
Study Mode
Students can now learn on Perplexity with Study Mode. Study Mode takes Perplexity’s Search and supercharges it for active learning. Instead of just answering a question, Study Mode explains the underlying concept in detail, breaking it down step-by-step.
- Learn through conversation rather than getting an instant answer
- Get answers tailored to your level of knowledge
- Generate custom study materials, such as interactive flashcards and quizzes.

Comet Shortcuts
Comet users can now create shortcuts for repetitive, multi-step tasks, frequent searches, or time-consuming prompts. Just type "/" to set one up, or pick from a library of pre-loaded shortcuts.
AI Enhancements
A more capable Voice Assistant
Comet users can now control the browser with their voice, speaking instructions that the browser then acts upon. And across all platforms, Perplexity voice mode now features improved noise cancellation, more natural voices, and better accuracy with gpt-realtime, Open AI’s latest realtime model.
Improved Context Handling
Perplexity is now better at inferring context from prior queries within a thread, even across longer conversations. For example, when asking about a source cited in a previous query, it will recognize the reference and provide a contextual, relevant answer.
GPT-5 Thinking
Now available for Pro and Max Subscribers to use across all platforms when advanced reasoning is required. Choose it from the model selector in the input box to get started.
