Perplexity introduces Deep Research, which specializes in in-depth analysis, OpenAI's concern increases

Perplexity has introduced a feature on its platform called Deep Research. The feature can handle complex questions and provide detailed reports on topics with a good comprehension of issues. The feature has been added to Model Picker and is available to all its users. The company claims that the feature is faster compared to OpenAI's feature of the same kind, taking approximately three minutes to provide its response.

After Google and OpenAI, now also Perplexity has added itself to the list of Silicon Valley startups that have brought on board an innovative AI feature called Deep Research. The feature is said by the company to employ Test Time Compute Expansion technology, where AI gets additional time on questions and understands them well. The AI ​​has the authority to cross-check answers, evaluate alternative hypotheses, and cross-check conclusions through this feature.

Perplexity is rolling out the feature to all users, although Pro subscribers will get unlimited access to the tool, while free users will be allowed to ask a limited number of questions per day. Currently, the feature is only available on the web version of Perplexity, but the company plans to bring it to iOS, Android, and Mac apps soon.

Perplexity users can activate the feature by tapping the Mode option below the text box, where the Deep Research option will be found at the end of the list. After selecting it, the AI ​​will automatically start answering questions using this function. The company claims that Deep Research responds in an average of three minutes, which is much faster than OpenAI's tool, as OpenAI's tool can take anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes to respond.
