If you’ve redeemed Airtel’s free Perplexity Pro offer, you’ve unlocked access to one of the most powerful AI research tools available today—at no extra cost. Whether you’re a student, professional, content creator, or just curious about the world, Perplexity Pro gives you advanced features that go far beyond simple AI chat. From smarter search modes and deep analysis tools to file uploads and API access, here are 9 features you must try to make the most of your free subscription.

With Pro, you can perform hundreds of Pro Searches per day. These searches pull in richer, multi-source information using advanced models—ideal for deep dives, academic questions, or complex decision-making.

Pro users get to choose from some of the best AI models, including Perplexity’s in-house Sonar, GPT-4.1, Claude 4.0 Sonnet, and Gemini 2.5 Pro. These models offer detailed answers, source citations, and context-aware reasoning.

Need answers that require logical deduction or multiple steps? The Reasoning Search Mode uses advanced models like R1, Claude 4.0 Sonnet Thinking, Grok4, and o3 to break down layered queries effectively.

If you’re unsure which model fits your query, Best Mode intelligently selects the most suitable one. It’s perfect for everyday use, balancing speed and depth without manual model selection.

For more serious research tasks, Research Mode automatically combines the best models and generates detailed reports on your behalf. It’s ideal for competitive analysis, trend forecasting, or in-depth summaries.

Labs is a unique feature that tackles complex projects, helping you build dashboards, spreadsheets, web tools, and more—no coding needed. It’s the most hands-off way to put Perplexity Pro to work.

You can upload PDFs, CSVs, audio, video, or images, and use top-tier AI like GPT-4 Omni and Claude 4.0 Sonnet to analyse the content. This is useful for extracting data, summarising long documents, or even reviewing multimedia files.

Pro users receive $5 in API credit each month to use Sonar in their own applications. This allows developers and researchers to embed Perplexity’s search and citation features into external workflows or tools.

Get faster responses through Intercom and access to a dedicated Pro Discord channel. It’s a great way to share insights, ask questions, and stay updated with new feature rollouts.
