Deep Research in Computer
Deep Research built for the hardest questions
Computer breaks the hardest questions into subtasks, routes them across 20+ frontier models, and returns work-ready reports, decks, and dashboards.
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.
