Perplexity AI is preparing to launch the “Deep Research” feature in Alpha mode, which will allow users to receive more detailed analytical reports. This feature works similarly to tools available on the Gemini and ChatGPT platforms, enabling Perplexity to spend more time analyzing web resources and leveraging its capabilities to create comprehensive reports. Currently, the feature has only been available to a limited group of users, and its full rollout will likely happen gradually.
Testing of the new feature showed that Perplexity is able to efficiently organize information by analyzing various publications and categorizing them by date and topic. This can be useful for users who need accurate and structured data. Additionally, the platform now allows exporting answers in PDF or markdown formats, which is convenient for further sharing of reports.
The new Perplexity feature could become a serious competitor to existing solutions from Gemini and ChatGPT. In particular, Gemini Deep Research uses the Gemini 1.5 Pro model, which is no longer the latest, and the Deep Research feature on ChatGPT is only available to Pro subscribers. In this context, Perplexity’s offering appears more attractive to a wider range of users.
Perplexity is a conversational search engine that uses large language models to provide answers to user queries, drawing information from the internet and providing source links. The platform, developed by Perplexity AI, Inc. from San Francisco, California, aims to deliver accurate, reliable, and up-to-date answers to users’ questions.
