Perplexity is a great search tool — with amnesia
If you've used it for anything longer than a single question, you've felt this.
Every thread starts from zero
No memoryThe apartment hunt, the thesis, the health question from March — each one lives in a separate thread that knows nothing about the others. You re-explain your situation every single time.
It knows nothing about you
No contextYour budget, your constraints, what you already ruled out, why this question matters — none of it carries over. The answers are generic because the tool can't know you.
It never follows up
One-wayYou compared flights for two hours, closed the tab, and never heard about it again. A search engine answers when asked. It doesn't care whether you finished.
Here, research compounds
The differencelookatmy.ai runs the same Sonar models for live web research — inside a companion that holds your context permanently. It remembers what you concluded last month, connects threads across conversations, and follows up on its own.
Everything Perplexity does — plus a memory
Same engines underneath. A completely different relationship on top.
Sonar, Sonar Pro, and Sonar Deep Research — the exact models Perplexity Pro sells — are served here via API. Live web search, citations, deep multi-step research runs. Not a clone or a wrapper around a different search stack: the same engines, picked from the model selector whenever a question needs the live web.
Your companion remembers why you're researching something, what you concluded last month, and which options you already ruled out. Ask about visas in June and it still knows about the job offer you mentioned in April. The memory is yours — exportable, deletable, never trained on.
Search engines stop at the answer. Your companion has a heartbeat — proactive check-ins up to three times a day — so it can follow up on ongoing projects: "did you book the flights you were comparing?" Connect Gmail and Calendar, set schedules and triggers, and research turns into things actually getting done.
Sonar is one family among 350+ models — GPT-4o and GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, and more. Search with Sonar, reason with Claude, draft with GPT — switching mid-conversation, with your memory persisting across every switch. Plus personas, voice mode, and image generation when the work calls for it.
Search the web — and your own files
Upload papers, notes, contracts, and reports. Your companion searches them with citations, right alongside live web results — so "what does the lease actually say?" and "what's the market rate?" get answered in the same breath.
