Perplexity Core Workflow B: Multi-Query Research

Overview

Multi-turn research workflow using Perplexity Sonar API. Decomposes a broad topic into focused sub-queries, runs them with context continuity, deduplicates citations, and synthesizes a structured research document. Use sonar for fast passes and sonar-pro for deep dives.

Prerequisites

• Completed perplexity-install-auth setup
• Familiarity with perplexity-core-workflow-a
• PERPLEXITY_API_KEY set

Instructions

Step 1: Conversational Research Session

import OpenAI from "openai";

const perplexity = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.PERPLEXITY_API_KEY,
  baseURL: "https://api.perplexity.ai",
});

type Message = OpenAI.ChatCompletionMessageParam;

class ResearchSession {
  private messages: Message[] = [];
  private allCitations: Set<string> = new Set();

  constructor(systemPrompt: string = "You are a research assistant. Provide thorough, cited answers.") {
    this.messages.push({ role: "system", : systemPrompt });
  }

   (: , :  |  = ): <{
    : ;
    : [];
  }> {
    ..({ : , : question });

     response =  perplexity...({
      model,
      : .,
    }  );

     answer = response.[].. || ;
     citations = (response  ). || [];

    
    ..({ : , : answer });

    
    citations.( ..(url));

     { answer, citations };
  }

  (): [] {
     [....];
  }

  
  () {
     system = .[];
     recent = ..(-(keepLast * ));
    . = [system, ...recent];
  }
}
