Introducing Internal Knowledge Search and Spaces

At Perplexity, we believe research fuels innovation and drives progress. Whether you’re exploring new business strategies or staying ahead of industry trends, you’re here to find clear, actionable insights faster and more efficiently. 

As we've grown, so has the creativity of our users. From industry professionals to everyday hobbyists, people use Perplexity in ways we never imagined. And while our users love what Perplexity can do, they've shown us they want to achieve even more. We want to give users greater flexibility and control over the types of sources they prompt, which is why we’re excited to introduce Internal Knowledge Search and Spaces. 

Internal Knowledge Search: From the web to your workspace, Perplexity searches it all 

While file upload has been part of Perplexity for some time, one of our most requested features has been the ability to search internal files alongside the web. Today we’re delivering: with Perplexity Pro and Enterprise Pro, you can now search across both public web content and your own internal knowledge bases. Seamlessly access and synthesize the best information from all sources to get the answers you need, faster.

We gave select Enterprise Pro customers early access to Internal Knowledge Search. Here are a few ways they’re using it: 

• Financial services firms conduct more robust due diligence by tapping into internal research, call notes, and the latest industry news. 

• Sales and business development teams accelerate the RFP process by combining past materials with the latest insights from the web.  

• HR teams help employees quickly find answers about benefits and wellness by having them search existing files. 

• Growth-stage startups get feedback on R&D and product roadmaps based on best practices from the web.  

Says Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas: “Searching the web in the context of what's relevant to a particular business has never been possible before. Web and internal search have had to rely on infrastructure and products that were separate. Being able to carry out all your research — across both internal and external sources of data — in one consolidated knowledge platform will unlock tremendous productivity gains for every enterprise. Perplexity is excited to be pioneering this for existing customers including NVIDIA, Databricks, Dell, Bridgewater, Latham & Watkins, Fortune, and Lambda.” 

Perplexity Spaces: Your AI-powered research & collaboration hub

We’ve also reinvented how teams research and organize information with Perplexity Spaces — AI-powered collaboration hubs that can be deeply customized to your specific use case. Whether you’re part of a project team conducting research, a sales team creating customer proposals, or a student team working on study guides, Perplexity Spaces gives you a place to work together to get things done.

Once you’ve set up your Space, you can invite collaborators such as colleagues or friends, connect internal files, and customize the AI assistant by choosing your preferred AI model and setting specific instructions for how it should respond. 

Spaces gives you full access controls over who can access your research and files, keeping everything secure and private within your team. For Enterprise Pro customers, all files and searches are excluded from AI quality training by default. Pro users can also choose to opt out of AI training in their settings. 

We understand the sensitivity of the data our customers work with, and we’re committed to ensuring Perplexity offers the highest levels of safety and privacy, empowering teams to conduct their most critical research without compromise. 

Soon, we’ll be adding third-party data integrations with Crunchbase and FactSet for Enterprise Pro customers who have active subscriptions to either of those services. This will allow you to expand your knowledge base even further with the ability to search across the public web, internal files, and proprietary data sets. More third-party data integrations are on the way, so stay tuned. 

We’re enabling more holistic, accurate, and fast research, making Perplexity the comprehensive knowledge hub for any organization. Visit our website to sign up for Enterprise Pro: https://www.perplexity.ai/enterprise.
