We just added Skills added to the Perplexity Agent API

Agents aren’t defined by a single system prompt. They are assembled from many capabilities that developers extend and compose.

For example: pair our built-in office/pdf skill with your own inline design skill and your agent produces a finished, custom-formatted PDF research report in one go.

Try our built-in skills (extended Skills Directory soon) or bring your own today.
