Introducing Bird SQL, a Twitter search interface that is powered by Perplexity’s structured search engine. It uses OpenAI Codex to translate natural language into SQL, giving everyone the ability to navigate large datasets like Twitter.
perplexity.ai/sql
With Bird SQL, you can quickly find information on Twitter that would have been impossible to find with conventional search engines or web browsing:
"most liked tweets about #worldcup"
perplexity.ai/sql?uuid=9b03e…
Search through top content:
"most liked tweets of all time"
perplexity.ai/sql?uuid=05f6b…
Find new users to follow:
"top astrophysicists"
perplexity.ai/sql?uuid=1492d…
Filter down to content you’re curious about:
"tweets about chatGPT liked by Elon Musk"
perplexity.ai/sql?uuid=0a675…
Search your favorite topics:
"top posts about ChatGPT"
perplexity.ai/sql?uuid=ea707…
Analyze social graphs:
"People followed by Jeff Bezos who don’t follow him back"
perplexity.ai/sql?uuid=b37ef…
Analyze how people engage:
"people Sam Altman engages with the most"
perplexity.ai/sql?uuid=d4600…
If you are interested in using our search engine on your structured or unstructured data, contact us at support@perplexity.ai, our Discord server, or via Twitter. Join our Discord to learn more about search and large language models: discord.com/invite/kWJZsxP…
This is a demo, not a commercial product. There are limitations to our Twitter data, database performance, and the expressiveness of SQL. Bird SQL does not interpret the content of tweets. For unstructured search, try Perplexity Ask.

Harvard and Perplexity researchers conducted the first large‑scale field study of how people use AI agents.

We analyzed hundreds of millions of anonymized user interactions in Comet to answer three questions: who’s using agents, how much, and what for.

perplexity.ai/hub/blog/how-p…
More than half of all agent activity focuses on cognitive work.

Agent use is dominated by Productivity & Workflow (36% of queries) and Learning & Research (21%).

Users rely on the assistant to think through something, synthesize findings, and take action on those learnings. Image
Most agent queries come from personal use (55%), followed by professional (30%) and educational (16%) contexts.

New users often start with low-stakes questions like travel or trivia. Over time, they shift to more complex topics like productivity, learning, and career advice. Image

Introducing Perplexity Search API

We've built a search index of billions of webpages to provide real-time, quality information from the web.

Now developers have access to the full power of our index, providing the most accurate results in milliseconds.

perplexity.ai/hub/blog/intro…Image
With Microsoft retiring the Bing Search APIs in August, legacy search engines have abandoned the developer community who need real-time access to information.

We're stepping in to provide a search API designed for the new retrieval paradigms introduced by frontier AI systems.
We built Perplexity Search API around three criteria:

1. Completeness + freshness + speed
2. Fine-grained content understanding
3. Hybrid retrieval and ranking.

The system processes ~200M daily queries using distributed crawling/indexing, multi-stage ranking, and dynamic parsing.
