AI-powered deep research with comprehensive sourced reports
Perplexity Deep Research automates the entire research workflow. Give it a question, and it breaks it into sub-queries, searches across hundreds of web sources, academic papers, and real-time data, then synthesizes everything into a comprehensive report with inline citations. Unlike basic search, Deep Research follows a research plan, iterating through multiple rounds of investigation, cross-referencing facts, and presenting findings in structured formats with tables, comparisons, and key takeaways. It excels at competitive analysis, market research, technical deep-dives, and academic literature reviews. Updated in early 2026 with faster processing, better source evaluation, and export to PDF/Markdown.
Included with Perplexity Pro at $20/month. Free users get 3 Deep Research queries per day. Pro users get unlimited queries.
