Perplexity’s Deep Research tool is built upon a foundation of iterative search and reasoning. It can conduct numerous searches, analyze hundreds of sources, and then synthesize the information into a comprehensive report. This process mimics the way a human researcher would approach a complex topic. The tool’s speed is a notable advantage, with most queries being completed within three minutes, significantly faster than comparable tools from OpenAI.
