US AI search engine that delivers answers with source citations via its own Sonar models and external frontier models, with separate Enterprise agreements on data use.
Perplexity is strong at answers with source citations based on live web information, and at access to several frontier models within one subscription; that suits drafting deeds and agreements automatically from case file data.

The maker of Perplexity publishes little about data protection. Ask about this before you put confidential notarial data into it.
Confidentiality and GDPR
GDPR: UnknownNotaries are bound by strict confidentiality (art. 22 Wna) and liability for the content of deeds. Client data is personal data under the GDPR; audio recordings of signing meetings must not be sent unencrypted to external servers. Only use systems with EU hosting and a data processing agreement, where input is not used for model training. AI output for deeds and advice always requires verification by a qualified notary.
Enterprise plans and the Sonar API are not trained on customer data (SOC 2 Type II; API with zero data retention). For consumer accounts, data use for model improvement can be switched off in the settings.
