Deep Research comes to Computer, with faster command access, forking, inline actions, analytics APIs, and custom credit limits.
Brand Impact
On 19 June 2026, Perplexity brought a more powerful Deep Research into Computer, its agentic assistant, adding a command panel, thread forking, inline actions, analytics APIs and enterprise credit controls. Deep Research fans out across many searches and reads far more material before synthesising a sourced report.
Brand impact: Perplexity is a citation-first answer engine, so a deeper research mode changes which sources get named. A wider, deeper read filters out thin pages and rewards clear, specific, well-evidenced content. Brands that answer questions outright, cover long-tail comparisons and keep their facts consistent are the ones that survive into the final cited report.
