Perplexity in MultipleChat
Search-native answers with sources you can open, in the same workspace as the reasoning models that check them. Sonar on the free plan, Sonar Pro on paid plans.
Latest AI models and studios available from one account
Chat with ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Grok. Then continue into image, document, presentation, spreadsheet, and file workflows.
Fast explanations, study help, and a second opinion.
Long-context writing, review, and careful reasoning.
Another perspective for research, critique, and coding.
Create images and compare visual directions.
Make docs, slides, spreadsheets, images, and file outputs.
Side-by-side answers and AI collaboration
Compare answers when one model is not enough. Use AI Team when the task needs review and synthesis.
Start with this tool. Continue in MultipleChat.
Start with the tasks people use ChatGPT for every day. Keep the page simple; move into advanced workflows only when the task needs them.
Which workflow should you use?
Start with the simplest mode that solves the job. Move up only when the answer needs judgment, collaboration, or a finished file.
How it works
- Ask for current facts with sources
- Open and check the sources
- Hand the findings to a reasoning model
What opens after login
Perplexity is one model choice inside a Project. Ask it for the facts, then ask ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini in the same conversation history to interpret them, without re-briefing.
On paid plans Perplexity runs as Sonar Pro. Research with sources, independent verification passes and the latest models of every other family sit next to it.
Research with PerplexityChoose the right model path
Start with Perplexity for facts
Market figures, competitor prices, current rules, recent changes. Ask for a source on every claim and open the ones you will act on.Check with Claude or ChatGPT
Paste the findings with sources into the same Project and ask what is unsupported, outdated or contradicted. Different models have different blind spots.Sonar vs Sonar Pro
Sonar, on the free plan, is enough to learn the workflow. Sonar Pro, on paid plans, is the higher-tier model for research you will base decisions on.Escalate to verification
For a fact that decides money or a launch, run the independent verification pass and read the sources yourself.Use chat, files, and studios from the same account
Chat with files
Upload PDFs, documents, spreadsheets, or images and ask questions about the content.
Image Studio
Create image prompts and continue into the dedicated image generation workflow.
Document Studio
Generate reports, proposals, resumes, and structured drafts.
Presentation Studio
Create decks, outlines, pitch materials, and training presentations.
Excel Studio
Work with spreadsheets, formulas, CSV files, and data analysis tasks.
Projects
Keep chats and files organized around a client, topic, codebase, or research area.

Research with Perplexity →How MultipleChat compares
ChatGPT is a strong model. MultipleChat is the workflow around it: model access, side-by-side comparison, AI collaboration, file handling, studios, projects, and verification in one place.
| Capability | ChatGPT alone | Typical AI aggregator | MultipleChat |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal ChatGPT tasks | Strong for writing, code, summaries, learning, translation, and analysis. | Usually depends on the chosen model. | Included Do the same core ChatGPT tasks, then continue into broader workflows. |
| Latest model access | One provider's model family. | Several models, but versions can be unclear. | Current paths ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, web-search models, and image models in one workspace. |
| Side-by-side model comparison | Manual copy-paste into other tools. | Sometimes basic parallel answers. | Core feature One prompt, multiple answers, same context. |
| AI collaboration | One model answers alone. | Mostly model switching. | AI Team Models can draft, critique, debate, verify, and synthesize one final answer. |
| Create files from chat | Generic text output, then manual copy into other apps. | Often one or two output tools. | Studios Documents, presentations, spreadsheets, images, and file-based chat workflows. |
| Projects and context | Mostly chat history. | Usually folders or separate chats. | Workspace Chats, uploads, project instructions, sources, and history together. |
Perplexity inside MultipleChat: what changes
Perplexity on its own is a search engine that talks. Inside MultipleChat it becomes the first step of a research method rather than the whole method. You ask it for the facts with sources, then, in the same conversation, switch to Claude or ChatGPT and ask them to check what it found. The Project holds the files you uploaded, so the reasoning models can compare the web findings with your own documents.
The plan matters here. The free plan runs Perplexity as Sonar, enough to learn the workflow. Paid plans run it as Sonar Pro, the higher-tier Perplexity model, and put the latest ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok next to it. For research you will base a decision on, that is the setup to use.

Research with PerplexityFrequently asked questions
Is Perplexity included in MultipleChat?
Yes. Perplexity is one of the five model families in the workspace: Sonar on the free plan, Sonar Pro on paid plans.
What is the difference between Sonar and Sonar Pro?
Sonar Pro is Perplexity's higher-tier search model. In MultipleChat it is what paid plans run when you choose Perplexity.
Does Perplexity see my uploaded files?
Files in a Project are context for every model you use there, Perplexity included, alongside what it finds on the web.
Can I trust Perplexity's citations?
Open them. A citation that does not say what the model claims is common enough to check every source you rely on. That is why the reasoning models are there to cross-check.
When should I not use Perplexity?
For writing, code, long reasoning and anything where the answer is in your own files rather than on the web. Use it for facts and currency; use the others for thinking.
Is my research used to train Perplexity?
No. Content in MultipleChat is never used to train any model, by MultipleChat or by the AI providers.
Is Perplexity free in MultipleChat?
Yes. The free plan includes the standard Sonar model. Sonar Pro, the higher-tier Perplexity model, is on paid plans.
Why use Perplexity next to ChatGPT?
Perplexity looks things up and cites; chat models answer from memory. For anything current or factual, use Perplexity first and a reasoning model to interpret.
What is MultipleChat?
MultipleChat is an AI workspace where you can chat with leading models, work with files, use dedicated AI studios, compare model answers, and run AI Team workflows from one account.
Which AI models are available?
MultipleChat includes ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Grok model paths in one workspace, plus dedicated image models inside Image Studio. Exact model availability can vary by plan and provider availability.
