Perplexity for AI agents

Perplexity is available to your agents through Vaaya, alongside hundreds of other tools, over one connection. The retrieval index behind the answer engine. You never create a Perplexity account, hold its API key, or carry its subscription: Vaaya meters each call and rolls it into one bill.

What Perplexity does

Perplexity's own search index, queried per call, returning ranked results that carry when each page was last updated so an agent can tell fresh pages from stale ones.
