Perplexity: Minimalist AI search home with centered wordmark and prompt composer over warm off-white canvas
A radically minimal AI-search home: the lowercase "perplexity" wordmark sits centered as the sole hero, with no headline or imagery, floating above a large rounded prompt composer that reads "Type / for search modes" and carries inline Search / Computer mode pills, a Model dropdown, mic, and a dark circular voice button. A persistent left sidebar (New, Computer, Spaces, Artifacts, Customize) and a thin top nav of topic verticals (Discover, Finance, Health, Academic, Patents) frame the canvas, while two equal feature cards below ("Search anything" and "Get work done with Computer" with a NEW badge) anchor the layout. The signature element is the centered wordmark-as-hero on a warm off-white background paired with the multi-mode composer — quiet, editorial, and tool-forward.
