Perplexity, an AI chat and search platform, has introduced Internal Knowledge Search for Perplexity Pro and Enterprise Pro users. This feature allows customers to search for information across the web and their internal databases within a single platform. The service is available to existing subscribers of Perplexity's premium tiers.

Internal Knowledge Search enables users to upload and search through their files, including Excel sheets, Word documents, and PDFs. The feature is limited to specific files that users deem important and upload to the platform, with a current limit of 500 file uploads for Enterprise Pro users. Perplexity also introduced Spaces, a feature that allows teams to share and organize research, customize AI assistants, and control access to information.

Analyst QuickTake: With these new features, Perplexity is positioning itself as a major player in the AI search engine market. Its ability to combine internal and external data queries differentiates it from traditional search engines and even some AI-driven competitors. As businesses increasingly seek integrated solutions that enhance productivity and collaboration, Perplexity's offerings could attract a growing user base, particularly among enterprise clients.
