What is Perplexity Spaces?

Perplexity Spaces is a collaborative workspace designed for AI-assisted research and information gathering. It allows teams to create shared research projects where multiple people can work together using Perplexity's AI search and analysis capabilities. Rather than conducting research in isolation, Spaces lets you organise findings, sources, and insights in one place that colleagues can access and contribute to. This is useful for teams that need to investigate topics, synthesise information from multiple sources, or build knowledge bases together. The tool sits between a search engine and a shared document, combining AI-powered research with collaborative features.
