Assessment
Reasoning: An answer engine with file upload and the Comet browser. Consumer queries and uploads may improve Perplexity's models and are processed in the US; enterprise plans exclude training and add short file retention. Uploaded files go to a shared S3 bucket, so the free tier on company documents is the concern.
Flags: Consumer data may train models · File upload · US processing · Assessed 2026-09-16. The assessment is Unseen's; the terms above are the vendor's.
