FAQPage Schema
How do I get real-time web search results with source citations using an AI model?

To get real-time web search results with source citations, this Skill queries Perplexity models like Sonar Pro via LiteLLM and OpenRouter to retrieve grounded answers and direct links to verifiable sources.

Do I need an OpenRouter API key to use Perplexity models for web search?

Yes, you need a single OpenRouter API key to access multiple Perplexity models, including Sonar Pro, Sonar Pro Search, and Sonar Reasoning Pro, through the LiteLLM integration.

Can I find recent scientific literature and clinical trial results using an AI-powered search?

You can find recent scientific literature and clinical trial results by performing AI-powered web searches that retrieve current information and summarize findings with direct links to the studies.

What is the best way to search for current information beyond a model's knowledge cutoff?

The best way to search for current information beyond a model's knowledge cutoff is using an AI-powered web search that leverages Perplexity models to fetch real-time data with source citations.

Which Perplexity models are supported for retrieving grounded answers with citations?

Supported Perplexity models for retrieving grounded answers with citations include Sonar Pro, Sonar Pro Search, and Sonar Reasoning Pro, all accessible via OpenRouter.

When should I use an AI web search instead of a standard search engine for research?

Use an AI web search instead of a standard engine when you need grounded answers with source citations, summarized findings, and retrieval of recent scientific literature beyond a model's knowledge cutoff.
