Sign up at perplexity.ai. For a daily web-grounded + weekly Deep Research workflow, Perplexity Pro ($20/mo) is the closest analog to your Google AI Pro tier: it unlocks the multi-model picker, effectively unmetered Deep Research (~500/day reported), and the Comet browser. Note the key trade-off before you commit: moving a Google-Workspace-heavy workflow to Perplexity Pro means you lose native Docs/Sheets/Slides/Maps/YouTube/Tasks integration — only Gmail and Google Calendar connectors are available on Pro.

Export your critical Gemini history before you switchConfirm in PerplexityConfirmed in Perplexity
There is no cross-product history import, so save anything you'll need to reference. Export important past Gemini chats via Canvas → "Export to Docs". Keep these Docs in Drive; you can re-import them into a Perplexity Space later as files. Do this before reducing your reliance on Gemini.

A few things to confirm

Gotchas

Perplexity grounds and cites by default, but for academic/finance/social-filtered queries switch the Focus filter — these have no Gemini equivalent.

Same-day walkthrough

## Gemini → Perplexity: same-day migration **Heads-up — human review flag:** Your "Web search & grounding" workflow is high-criticality, so this guide should get a human review before you fully cut over. All guidance below is grounded in provisional FPM patterns — verify each step in the live UI as you go. **Do it today (≈30–45 min):** 1. **Sign up for Perplexity Pro** ($20/mo) — the closest analog to your Google AI Pro tier, with unmetered Deep Research, the multi-model picker, and Comet. 2. **Export critical Gemini chats first** via Canvas → "Export to Docs." There's no cross-product history import, so anything you don't save is gone from Perplexity's perspective. 3. **Recreate your saved preferences** in Settings > Profile (perplexity.ai/account) — migrate Gemini "Saved info" bullet-by-bullet and set your concise/analytical tone in the response-format fields. Turn on Memory. 4. **Rebuild each Gem as a Space** — paste the Gem's instructions into the Space's Custom Instructions, re-upload Knowledge files, pick a default model. 5. **Set Deep Research mode** for your weekly briefs and connect Gmail/Calendar if you need private-data grounding. 6. **Persist recurring documents in Spaces** for grounded Q&A without re-uploading. **The two things to watch most:** - **Workspace integration loss.** This is the big trade-off in your fingerprint. Perplexity Pro gives you Gmail + Google Calendar connectors only — you lose native Docs/Sheets/Slides/Maps/YouTube/Tasks. For research you used to ground in Workspace data, you'll attach files manually into a Space instead. - **Your must-keeps are covered.** "Cited web answers" is preserved by default (Perplexity is search-first with inline citations), and "deep research" is actually more generous on Pro than on Gemini. Spot-check a few familiar queries, though — for Google-indexed topics, Gemini's grounding was typically deeper. **Gaps / not migrated:** Your fingerprint listed only the five workflows above, all of which mapped to FPM patterns — no workflow was left without guidance. Note that several adjacent Gemini capabilities (image/video generation, Gemini Live, Gemini Agent, and the deep Workspace embeds) have no clean Perplexity equivalent; if you lean on any of these, plan to keep a Gemini account alongside Perplexity rather than expecting a 1:1 replacement.

Your turn

This sample was built for an example user. Yours gets built around how you work.

A 15–25 minute interview captures your workflows, then the guide is generated for you — same structure, your prompts, your projects, your gotchas. Nothing in your stack is changed or cancelled by any of it.
