Sonar provides web-connected search capabilities to deliver up-to-date answers beyond training data cutoffs, enabling users to access the latest news, events, and information.

Understand complex topics through conversational AI

Sonar functions as an AI assistant that engages in multi-turn conversations to explain concepts, answer follow-up questions, and provide contextual understanding.

Reduce time spent on information gathering and synthesis
