Perplexity launches 'Pages' feature for instant, customizable wiki-style search reports

The AI chatbot and search engine Perplexity has just introduced a new feature called 'Pages', designed to draft detailed reports complete with citations, embedded videos, and images into a wiki-style lading page, in just seconds. The tool can be accessed via a new button under the Library section of Perplexity. Users can start a report by providing a title, and the AI will fill it with pertinent information.

The Page feature offers customization options for different audiences, from beginners to experts. It claims to analyze billions of web pages in real-time to ensure the most relevant and current information. Users can add sections with various content types such as images, videos, paragraphs, or bullet-point lists, similar to any other word procesor like Microsoft Word. Unwanted sources and their content can also be removed. Currently, reports can only be created on the web but are viewable on both web and mobile apps.

This new feature from Perplexity kind of resembles what is seen in other similar alternatives like Arc Search, which provides a comprehensive AI-generated landing page of search results, although in the case of Perplexity, it functions more like a document builder based on different searches using artificial intelligence. Initially available to a limited user base, Perplexity plans to roll out the Page feature to all users eventually. In the meantime, you can check out some Pages examples here and here.
