Perplexity on Magicdoor

Magicdoor currently lists two Perplexity-backed research models:

• Perplexity Reasoning
• Deep Research (pplx)

These are the models to use when the task depends on current web information or source-backed research.

Perplexity Reasoning

Use it for:

• quick fact-checks
• current events
• recent company or product information
• sourced answers when you do not need a long report

Deep Research (pplx)

Use it for:

• broader research projects
• multi-source investigations
• report-style output
• tasks where the extra research depth is worth the extra cost

How it fits into Magicdoor

You can use Perplexity directly, or let Magicdoor route search-heavy tasks through Perplexity while keeping the rest of the conversation in the same workflow.

That means a common pattern is:

1. gather current information with Perplexity
2. switch to Claude, GPT-5.5, or another chat model for synthesis, writing, or decision-making

Pricing

Perplexity models have token pricing plus an additional web-search request fee. See model cost for the current numbers.
