Perplexity Deep Research
Runs an extended autonomous investigation: plans and executes dozens of searches across the web and premium data sources, then returns a long structured report with citations rather than a single answer. Deep Research sits inside Perplexity's Computer agent, which takes a goal and carries the multi-step work to completion.
