Smart Model Routing

Magicdoor can automatically use Perplexity-backed search when a question depends on current information. The point is simple: you should not have to manually switch products every time a conversation moves from general reasoning to live web data.

What it does

For questions about:

• recent news
• current company or product status
• live web facts
• source-backed research

Magicdoor can route the search step through Perplexity Reasoning or Deep Research (pplx), then continue the conversation in the same workflow.

Why it matters

• you keep one conversation instead of juggling tools
• current-information tasks can use web-connected models
• follow-up analysis can still happen with Claude, GPT-5.4, Gemini, or another model

Typical workflow

1. Ask a question in plain language.
2. If the request needs live information, Magicdoor can use Perplexity-backed search.
3. Continue the discussion in the same chat with the context preserved.

When to use it

Smart routing is useful for:

• fact-checking
• current events
• market or company research
• travel, pricing, and time-sensitive questions

If the task does not need current information, a standard chat model is often enough.

Cost note

Perplexity-backed searches have their own usage costs on top of regular token costs. See model cost for the current pricing structure.
