Evaluation notes
How to assess Perplexity for a real workflow
Assistant quality depends on the task, source requirements, context size, and the amount of verification a workflow can support.
Answer grounding
Test whether important claims can be traced to supplied files, linked sources, or other evidence appropriate to the task.
Context handling
Use representative long documents and multi-step instructions to see what the assistant retains, omits, or incorrectly combines.
Workflow controls
Compare file support, export options, collaboration, privacy settings, and any tool connections needed in the real workflow.
What this profile does not verify
Product features, plans, usage limits, model availability, data practices, and commercial terms can change.
