The new tool aims to let users conduct research, create designs, write code, launch applications, and oversee ongoing operations without switching between separate services.

Perplexity has steadily expanded its product suite over the past year. In late October 2025, the company introduced Perplexity Patents, an AI‑powered research tool that uses natural‑language queries to help users navigate global patent and intellectual property filings.

The firm also struck a partnership with Samsung to embed its technology across Galaxy devices as a voice-activated assistant branded “Hey Plex.”

On the commerce side, the company introduced an in‑app shopping feature that lets U.S. Pro users purchase products directly through Perplexity, powered in part by integrations with platforms such as Shopify.

Perplexity has abandoned its advertising experiments in favor of a subscription‑centric revenue model, which executives say better supports user trust and the perceived neutrality of its answers.
