How to install: Chrome Web Store → search "Perplexity AI" → Add to Chrome → Pin to toolbar.
Best for: In-context research while reading, setting as default search, quick lookups without leaving the current page.
5. Perplexity as Default Search Engine
Set up in any browser to replace Google in the address bar:
- Chrome: Settings → Search engine → Manage → Add → URL:
https://www.perplexity.ai/search?q=%s - Safari: Settings → Search → Search Engine → Other → enter Perplexity URL
- Firefox: Add search engine from Settings → Search
After setup, type your question in the address bar and press Enter — Perplexity answers instead of Google.
6. Perplexity API (Sonar Models)
Perplexity offers its Sonar models via API for developers building applications:
| Model | Context | Best For | Price/1M tokens |
|---|---|---|---|
| sonar | 128K | Fast search answers | $1 in / $1 out |
| sonar-pro | 128K | Deep research | $3 in / $15 out |
| sonar-reasoning | 128K | Complex reasoning | $1 in / $5 out |
The API is OpenAI-compatible — switching an existing OpenAI integration to Perplexity Sonar requires changing the base URL and model name only.
7. Perplexity in Raycast (Mac)
Raycast extension (free) lets you query Perplexity from the Raycast launcher without opening a browser. Type a keyboard shortcut → type your question → get an answer without leaving your current app. Excellent for power users who rely on Raycast.
8. Third-Party Integrations
Growing ecosystem of unofficial integrations:
- Obsidian plugin — Query Perplexity directly from Obsidian notes
- Notion integration — Bring Perplexity research into Notion databases
- Zapier/Make — Connect Perplexity API to automation workflows
- VS Code extension — Query Perplexity without leaving the editor
Recommended starting stack: Web app (primary) + Chrome Extension (set as default search) + iOS/Android app (mobile). This gives you Perplexity access everywhere with minimal setup. Add the API later when building custom workflows.
