AI Provider for Perplexity
This plugin provides the Perplexity implementation for the WordPress AI Client. It registers Perplexity as an available AI provider, allowing other plugins built on the WordPress AI Client to generate web-grounded text using Perplexity’s Sonar models (Sonar, Sonar Pro, Sonar Reasoning, Sonar Reasoning Pro, and Sonar Deep Research).
The plugin connects to Perplexity’s OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions API. Bring your own API key from the Perplexity API settings.
Supported capabilities:
- Web-grounded text generation (chat) with the Sonar model family
- Chat history / multi-turn conversations
- JSON / structured output
External services
This plugin connects to the Perplexity API to provide web-grounded text generation with Perplexity’s Sonar models. It is required for the plugin’s core purpose: it registers Perplexity as a provider for the WordPress AI Client so that AI features can generate responses.
The plugin sends a request to Perplexity’s API (https://api.perplexity.ai) each time a consuming AI feature generates content through the Perplexity provider. Each request includes your Perplexity API key (for authentication) and the input you submit for generation — such as the prompt text and any chat messages. No request is sent unless an AI feature actively triggers a generation, and no data is sent until you have configured a Perplexity API key. The plugin does not send any data on its own.
