If Claude is your writer, Perplexity is your researcher. Perplexity is an AI search engine that gives you sourced, cited answers instead of a list of links. It searches the web in real time and summarizes what it finds.
How agents are using it:
β "What are the top 5 new restaurants opening in [NEIGHBORHOOD] this year?" β for neighborhood guides
β "What are the latest changes to FHA loan requirements?" β for buyer consultations
β "What's the crime rate trend in [ZIP CODE] over the last 3 years?" β for relocation clients
β "Summarize the latest NAR settlement impact on buyer agents" β for staying current
β "What school boundary changes are happening in [DISTRICT]?" β for family buyers Free tier is solid.
Pro ($20/mo) gives unlimited searches and better models.
Pro tip: Use Perplexity for RESEARCH, then paste the findings into Claude for WRITING. Research in one, create in the other. That's the two-tool stack.
