Build Team Research Hubs With Perplexity Spaces

Perplexity Spaces turns Perplexity from a search tool into a collaborative research platform that maintains institutional knowledge across teams and time. Without Spaces, each search exists in isolation-new team members start from zero context every session, and research findings scatter across individual conversations.

Spaces solve this by creating persistent project hubs where teams organize searches, upload documents (up to 50 files per Space), set custom AI instructions, and invite collaborators. For product teams researching competitor analysis, sales teams building proposals, or research groups conducting ongoing studies, Spaces becomes the central nervous system for organizational knowledge. Team members can instantly access previous research threads, ask follow-up questions in the same context, and build on each other's findings without context-switching between tools.

The practical workflow: create a Space for a specific project (e.g., "Q4 Product Launch Research"), upload relevant files (user feedback documents, market reports, technical specifications), set custom instructions ("Prioritize peer-reviewed sources" or "Always cite internal documents first"), invite up to 10 collaborators, then let your team contribute search threads. New team members can ask "Summarize key findings in this Space" and instantly get up to speed. Collaborators can upload additional files, create new threads, or ask follow-up questions-all within the same organized Space.

For Enterprise Pro users, Spaces integrate with internal file search, allowing teams to combine answers from both web sources and proprietary documents. The feature scales from solo researchers organizing personal projects to enterprise teams with SOC 2 compliance requirements and 250+ members.
