Perplexity Launches Free AI Research Tool “Deep Research”

Perplexity, a prominent AI developer, has introduced a new tool called Deep Research, which offers an unlimited number of free research queries to its subscribers. The service simulates the functionality of OpenAI’s Deep Research, but at no cost.

For a limited number of answers per day, users can access Deep Research without incurring any fees. Alternatively, Perplexity is offering two Deep Research queries per month for $20 with ChatGPT Plus. To use the tool, simply select the “Deep Research” option from the model selection dropdown and enter your query.

Upon completion of the research task, users can export their findings directly as a document or PDF file, or share them online through a Perplexity Page link. This feature allows seamless collaboration with others, such as importing data into Google Docs.

Perplexity claims that Deep Research outperforms other models in tasks like finance and marketing analysis, product research, and tackling expert-level questions. The tool has achieved high benchmarks on the Humanity’s Last Exam, only ranking below OpenAI’s Deep Research in a recent assessment.

Gemini, another AI chatbot, offers similar functionality for $20 a month, while ChatGPT Plus charges $200 per month for its equivalent service. Perplexity’s Deep Research is poised to disrupt the research assistant market with its affordability and effectiveness.
