Research a URL with Perplexity

Low cost

Run Perplexity sonar research on any URL — extracts business name, location, services, USPs, audience, hooks.

How it works

Returns a multi-paragraph research blob ready to feed into generate_concepts_from_research. Use when you want to inspect (or modify) the research before generating concepts. Costs research credits, not a generation credit.
