Perplexity and Magicdoor: Current Research Options
Perplexity is an external research product; Magicdoor's old Perplexity chat picker options are retired. Compare current Magicdoor search-enabled models.
Last updated: October 7, 2026.
Perplexity offers its own research products, but Magicdoor's previous Perplexity Reasoning and Deep Research (pplx) picker options have been retired. This route is kept for readers following older comparisons. It does not mean that Perplexity remains a separate Magicdoor chat provider choice.
Current Magicdoor research workflow
Use Claude Haiku 5.5 or GPT-6.1 Sol for a search-enabled question, depending on your task and tools. Ask for original source URLs, open those pages yourself, and compare the answer against their actual text. If you need a second perspective, switch models mid-conversation with the same verified evidence.
Search support does not guarantee current, correctly cited answers. Costs depend on your selected model and tools; see current Magicdoor model costs. For the historical picker explanation, see the Perplexity-on-Magicdoor guide.
