Perplexity's Sonar models answer from the live web with citations — connect your key and Pluely's overlay becomes a search engine that reads your screen. Ask about the thing in front of you and get an answer backed by sources, not vibes.
Web-grounded answers with citations.
Sonar responses cite their sources. When Pluely tells you a fact mid-meeting, you can see where it came from before you repeat it out loud — the difference between confidence and gambling.
Prices, versions, news, people — Sonar searches the live web per question. For anything that changed recently, it beats every offline model.
sonar-reasoning-pro doesn't just fetch links; it reads and reasons across them. Complex research questions from your screen come back synthesized, not just linked.
Any OpenAI-compatible endpoint works the same way.
Create a key at perplexity.ai. It stays on your device — Pluely encrypts it locally and never sends it anywhere except Perplexity itself.
Open Pluely's dashboard → AI Providers → Add Custom Provider. Paste the base URL (https://api.perplexity.ai) and your key, and pick the models you want available.
Your Perplexity models now appear in the overlay's model picker. Select one and every Ask, screenshot, and meeting answer runs on your key — unmetered by Pluely.
Connecting a provider doesn't limit the product — every mode routes through it.
Capture the full screen, drag-select just the error or the clause that matters, attach PDFs and documents with built-in OCR, or turn on Use image so every message carries a fresh screenshot. Perplexity answers with the actual context in front of you.
Listen mode transcribes your mic and system audio in real time with speaker labels, and Perplexity drafts the suggested answer before the question finishes — automatically on every question, after each pause, or only when you tap Suggest.
One tap turns any answer, transcript, or document into a summary, key points with action items, a translation, or a longer draft — and meeting notes build themselves as you go. All of it runs on Perplexity.
Install Pluely, paste your key once, and Perplexity answers for the next error, the next call, the next thing on your screen.
