Perplexity takes on ChatGPT and Gemini with new Deep Research AI that completes most tasks in under 3 minutes

Aravind Srinivas-led Perplexity AI has launched its own Deep Research tool, which it claims will help users save hours of time by performing in-depth research and analysis on their behalf, while taking less than 3 minutes for most tasks. Perplexity already offered DeepSeek R1 on its platform, and the addition of Deep Research puts it in direct competition with AI giants like OpenAI and Google.

Perplexity says its Pro users will have access to 500 queries per day, while free users will get a limited number of answers.
