# Perplexity lets AI agents write code to call its search stack

By Steven Van · 2026-06-06

The "Search as Code" architecture lets developers script multi-step searches in Python instead of chaining repeated function calls.

Perplexity has introduced Search as Code, a new architecture that lets AI agents write Python to call its search stack directly, rather than looping through repeated function calls.

The change is aimed at developers building on [Perplexity](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/perplexity>)'s search infrastructure, letting an agent express a multi-step search as a single script instead of many round trips.
