Perplexity announced Perplexity for Government, an initiative that centralizes and expands Perplexity’s efforts to serve those who serve America.
Perplexity’s mission is to build accurate, trustworthy AI that delivers universal access to reliable knowledge. Millions of people and thousands of enterprises rely on Perplexity to conduct research, organize knowledge, and interact with the world around them. These needs are pressing in the public sector, where public servants increasingly rely on frontier AI technologies to serve citizens and advance the national interest.
Perplexity already serves thousands of U.S. federal employees each day. Among Perplexity’s ranks are alumni of multiple branches and levels of government, who bring a rich understanding of agency missions to the engineering and policy teams. Through the AI Action Plan, OMB’s M-25-21 and M-25-22, and other executive actions, the Trump Administration has issued a call to action for government and industry to shape the future of public sector AI. Perplexity is answering that call with two new programs:
First, all federal users of Perplexity will benefit from secure-by-default access, with automatic enforcement of zero data usage protections. These benefits apply across all agencies and components starting today—no contract or paid subscription needed.
Second, Perplexity announced Perplexity Enterprise Pro for Government, a custom offering of Perplexity’s enterprise AI platform relied upon by leading companies. This offering will bring the benefits of Enterprise Pro to government agencies at a nominal cost of $0.25 and adapted to agencies’ unique needs.
Empowering and Securing America’s Agencies with Secure-By-Default AI
Today, most AI use within government is facilitated via publicly available web tools that generally offer limited capabilities and minimal protection for agency data. When federal users interact with these tools, their interactions are often reused for model training.
Perplexity believes that America’s government deserves frontier AI capabilities that are secure by default. Starting today, Perplexity will automatically enforce zero data usage on all requests identified as originating from a U.S. government agency. Data from these requests will not be retained for training, improving, or evaluating AI models. These protections apply to both logged-in and logged-out requests. Perplexity will also uplift all identified U.S. government requests to the most advanced models and product capabilities.
There is no subscription required to enforce these safeguards.
Perplexity Enterprise Pro for Government
Perplexity offers a best-in-class enterprise AI platform: Perplexity Enterprise Pro. With Enterprise Pro, organizations can leverage secure AI that integrates with institutional knowledge and provides access to a comprehensive suite of frontier AI models developed by Perplexity and third-party model developers.
Perplexity Enterprise Pro for Government will bring this platform to U.S. government agencies through a custom edition adapted to their requirements. Pursuant to GSA’s OneGov strategy, Perplexity is in discussions with federal officials to offer Perplexity Enterprise Pro for Government through government-wide vehicles such as the Multiple Award Schedule, at $0.25 per agency for the first 15 months.
Perplexity’s Commitment to America
Perplexity for Government represents Perplexity’s commitment to America’s success. Perplexity offers the only publicly available AI tool that is secure-by-default for federal use, along with an enterprise offering that eliminates the risks of a single-model approach. Perplexity is committed to supporting public sector AI innovation and will have more to announce in the coming months.
