About Perplexity
Perplexity pivoted from search API to agent platform with February's Agent API GA.
Perplexity now operates as a multi-surface developer platform: Search API, Agent API, Embeddings API, and a growing roster of third-party models routed through one OpenAI-compatible endpoint. The last six months added official Python and TypeScript SDKs, an MCP server, file attachments, and one-click integrations across Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, n8n, and OpenClaw. Security and DX have matured in parallel — one-time-reveal keys, automated rotation, an interactive Search playground.
