perplexity capabilities

Persistent personalization in Settings > Profile that applies across all conversations. Users can set self-introduction, preferred response format, tone, interests, goals, and language.

Individual threads can be shared via public link. Spaces support multi-user collaboration with viewer or collaborator roles. Pages publish to a public URL.

Native app connectors let Perplexity read from and act on third-party SaaS tools. Available connectors as of 2026 include Gmail, Google Calendar, Outlook, Notion, GitHub, Linear, Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, Dropbox, Box, and Plaid (Finance).

Perplexity does not have a discrete 'GPTs'-style assistant builder; the closest equivalent is a Space configured with Custom Instructions, attached files, and a chosen default model. That combination acts as a reusable, sharable assistant.

Users can attach files to a query or to a Space. Supports text, code, PDF, Office docs, images, audio, and video. Limits vary by plan and surface (one-off thread upload vs Space repository).

All threads for signed-in users are saved to the Library, organized chronologically and searchable. Perplexity also has an opt-in cross-conversation Memory layer that synthesizes durable preferences and facts.

Threads can be exported natively to PDF or Markdown. Pages (long-form polished articles) can be published with a shareable link.

Six consumer/business SKUs: Free, Pro $20/mo, Max $200/mo, Education Pro $10/mo (verified students), Enterprise Pro $40/seat/mo, Enterprise Max $325/seat/mo. Higher tiers unlock more models, larger Space limits, more connectors, and Comet model selection.

Spaces are dedicated workspaces that group related threads, uploaded files, and custom instructions for a topic, project, or team. They replaced the older 'Collections' feature.

Core product. Modes include default Search, Pro Search (auto multi-step), Deep Research (long-running multi-pass), Labs (agentic, builds artifacts), plus optional focus filters (web, academic, social, finance, video).
