Built on Perplexity's search technology

Deep Research in Computer is built on our Agent Search SDK and Search as Code architecture. We let the model write code that assembles search itself, running thousands of retrieval steps, in parallel, tailored to each question.

Turn complex questions into structured research

With one complex question, Deep Research builds a research plan, finds primary sources across hundreds of sites, and cites every claim.

Reads both your files and the best sources on the web

Pull in your files and apps for internal context, then cross-reference the live web. Every answer reflects both what you know and what real-time data says.

Search with confidence using trusted data

Computer automatically pulls from premium sources like Statista, PitchBook, and CB Insights, backing answers with authoritative data.

Research to deliverable, without leaving Computer

Start with Deep Research. Then build on the report, turning it into a deck or dashboard, all inside Computer.

  • 20+ models. Computer picks the right one.

    For contract reviews, a legal reasoning model. For Excel variance checks, a data model. For final drafts, a writing model. Computer always knows which one the job needs.

  • Delivers the format the work needs.

    Find it with Deep Research, then get it in the format you need: a brief, a deck, a spreadsheet, fully formatted and ready to use.

  • See every change before it sticks.

    Computer reads and writes inside your file, not beside it. Aware of your selections, ranges, slides, and threads, with a preview before every change lands.
