Add-on summary

In the vanilla Perplexity UI, you can only switch AI model before asking a question by navigating to settings, switching the model, then navigating back to the search page. This extension eliminates the extra steps by adding model selector dropdowns directly next to any search bar in the site (where model selection has an effect). This includes:

  • Main search page: Response and image generation model selectors
  • Existing thread response page: Image generation model selector only. The response model selector wouldn't have an effect here.
  • "New Thread" modal: Both response and image generation model selectors

Add-on safety
