Perplexity AI offers users two different search options. Quick Search focuses on speed and accuracy, based on cited sources. Pro Search, on the other hand, is suitable for more in-depth and comprehensive research, akin to hiring a professional research assistant to search for data and explain it to you.

"Research shapes our daily lives. We use it to make informed decisions and solve problems, to innovate, learn, and grow. However, this process can be very time-consuming, requiring several hours of information collection and analysis," Perplexity explained in a blog post. "Pro Search is our answer to this challenge, revolutionizing the way knowledge discovery is done by making research faster and more efficient than ever. Now, we are taking it to a new level."

The upgraded Pro Search provides richer search results. When switching to Pro Search mode in the search bar, Perplexity delves deeper and links to a wider range of sources, while also displaying its step-by-step search process. Pro Search is open to all users, with a limit of 5 free uses per 4 hours. Perplexity AI also offers a Pro subscription for more extensive use of Pro Search features.

Perplexity AI views the new multi-step reasoning as the core pillar of the upgraded chatbot. Now, artificial intelligence can understand when a multi-faceted approach is needed to answer questions and gradually achieve goals. This search artificial intelligence not only returns results but also analyzes them and takes action based on its judgment. Therefore, for example, it may conduct subsequent searches based on previous results to provide users with a more comprehensive and accurate view of the content.

In mathematics and programming, Perplexity AI integrates the Wolfram|Alpha engine, allowing artificial intelligence to quickly and accurately solve complex mathematical problems. This is obviously not only useful for solving individual equations but also very helpful for data analysis in engineering, banking, or customer service.

In fact, Perplexity views the new version of Pro Search as a tool that can bring benefits to various professions. The company said that lawyers can use it to find case law, salespeople can use it to summarize trend analysis, and developers can debug code. "We have improved Pro Search to handle more complex queries, perform advanced mathematical and programming calculations, and provide more comprehensive research answers," Perplexity wrote. "No matter what profession you are in, Pro Search can help you make more informed decisions."
