Perplexity Search
AI-powered search using Perplexity ’s Sonar model. Instead of returning a list of links, it synthesizes an answer with citations.
This is separate from using Perplexity as your main model provider on the Config page. This plugin gives the Research agent an additional search tool it can call on demand.
Setup
- Get an API key from perplexity.ai
- Set the environment variable and restart Pandora:
PERPLEXITY_API_KEY=pplx-... - Open the Plugins page and toggle Perplexity Search on
Tool Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
