About Perplexity AI

Perplexity provides an API that allows developers to integrate its powerful research and search capabilities into their own products. It offers the 'Sonar' models for real-time web search and an 'Agent API' for building advanced AI researchers. For AI-native operators, Perplexity's API is a primary choice for giving agents grounded, up-to-date information from across the web.
