Vercel Perplexity IntegrationMarketplace

Perplexity API specializes in deep language understanding and generation models. Integrating Perplexity with Vercel allows your applications to use advanced text interpretation, sentiment analysis, and language modeling capabilities.

You can use the Vercel and Perplexity integration to power a variety of AI applications, including:

• Advanced text generation: Use Perplexity for creating sophisticated text generation tools for content creation and communication
• Semantic text analysis: Use Perplexity for applications requiring deep semantic analysis of text, such as sentiment analysis or topic detection
• Language understanding applications: Use Perplexity in tools for language understanding and translation, enhancing communication across languages

Perplexity provides models focused on deep language understanding and generation. They excel in tasks such as contextual text interpretation, predictive typing, and nuanced sentiment analysis.

    // app/api/chat/route.ts
    import { OpenAIStream, StreamingTextResponse } from 'ai';
    import OpenAI from 'openai';
    
    const perplexity = new OpenAI({
      apiKey: process.env.PERPLEXITY_API_KEY || '',
      baseURL: 'https://api.perplexity.ai',
    });
    
    export async function POST(req: Request) {
      // Extract the `messages` from the body of the request
      const { messages } = await req.json();
    
      // Request the OpenAI-compatible API for the response based on the prompt
      const response = await perplexity.chat.completions.create({
        model: 'llama-3.1-sonar-small-128k-online',
        stream: true,
        messages: messages,
      });
    
      // Convert the response into a friendly text-stream
      const stream = OpenAIStream(response);
    
      // Respond with the stream
      return new StreamingTextResponse(stream);
    }
