Frequently asked questions

Ceven treats citations as first class data objects. When the agent calls Perplexity AI, it does not just pull the text response but also the array of source URLs. These are mapped into your workflow as metadata, meaning if the agent pushes a summary to a Google Doc, it can automatically insert the links as footnotes or hyperlinks. This ensures that every piece of information generated by the agent is auditable. You can configure the agent to only accept responses that have at least three distinct sources to increase the reliability of the output for high stakes reports.
Yes. You can instruct the agent to use specific search operators or focus on particular domains within the prompt passed to Perplexity AI. For example, you can tell the agent to only search for government sites or official documentation domains. The agent handles the query construction to ensure the search engine prioritizes those sources. This is particularly useful for legal or medical research where only authoritative sources are acceptable. The resulting summary will then only include citations from the filtered list of domains you specified in your workflow logic.
When Perplexity AI returns a result indicating a lack of consensus or no clear answer, Ceven is programmed to report this uncertainty rather than guessing. The agent will notify you that the information is unavailable or conflicting. You can set up a fallback workflow where the agent tries a different search query or alerts a human to perform a manual search. This prevents the common issue of AI hallucination by relying on the search engine's ability to admit when the web does not contain the specific answer requested by the user.
The number of searches is governed by your Perplexity AI API tier and rate limits. Perplexity AI enforces strict requests per minute limits depending on whether you are on a free or paid plan. If a Ceven workflow hits these limits, the agent will receive a rate limit error. Ceven handles this by implementing an exponential backoff strategy, meaning it will wait a few seconds before retrying the request automatically. For high volume enterprise workflows, we recommend upgrading your Perplexity AI account to ensure that large scale research tasks do not stall.
The data is as current as the web index. Unlike standard LLMs that have a training cutoff date, Perplexity AI performs a live search of the internet before generating a response. This means if a news story broke ten minutes ago, the agent can find it, summarize it, and push it into your workflow. This makes the integration ideal for roles like PR managers or stock traders who need second by second updates on market moving events. The agent always pulls the most recent index state to ensure accuracy.
Perplexity AI handles data according to its API privacy policy. Generally, data sent via the API is treated differently than data entered into the consumer web interface. However, you should always review the current terms of service for the specific model version you are using. Ceven does not store your search queries longer than necessary to complete the workflow execution. Once the agent has delivered the final report or updated your database, the transient search query is cleared from the active workflow memory to maintain a lean data footprint.
Yes. Perplexity AI allows for the selection of different underlying models for generating the final response. Through Ceven, you can specify which model the agent should use for a particular task. For example, you might use a faster, smaller model for simple fact checking to save on latency and a more powerful model for complex synthesis and report writing. The agent manages the API parameters to ensure the correct model is engaged for each step of your research pipeline, allowing you to balance cost and quality.
Perplexity AI is capable of searching and processing information in multiple languages. When Ceven triggers a search, the agent can request results from the global web. If the most relevant information is found in a foreign language, Perplexity AI typically translates the synthesis into English for the response. Ceven can then take that translated summary and further refine it or translate it into another target language. This allows you to monitor global markets or international competitors without needing a multilingual team to manually scan foreign news sites.
