Switch
Same thread, different model
Ask for a switch mid-conversation. The next reply comes from ChatGPT or Gemini with every earlier message, file and instruction in hand.
Live from Perplexity’s status pageIs Perplexity down right now?
No
Perplexity is up.
Perplexity says: “All Systems Operational”
Checked just now. Updates every minute.
Source: status.perplexity.com . This page repeats what the vendor publishes and adds nothing.
What an outage usually looks like: searches spin and never return, answers arrive without sources, the app failing while the website works, or the reverse. If that is you and the answer above says up, it is often local. If the answer says down, the rest of this page is what to do about it.

What to do while Perplexity is down
- 1
Check Perplexity's page yourself
The answer above is theirs. Open it for the incident detail and the estimated fix.
- 2
Rule out your end
Try another network, a private window, or the app instead of the site. A browser extension takes more chats down than most outages.
- 3
Do not retype the conversation
The context you built up is the expensive part. Keep the tab; paste the thread into another model only if you have to, and only the part that matters.
- 4
Or switch model and keep going
A Magai user asks for ChatGPT or Gemini in the same thread. Nothing is retyped and nothing is lost; when Perplexity is back, they switch back.

GeminiWhy Magai users do not have this page bookmarked
When Perplexity goes down, the work does not.
Magai holds Perplexity's models and dozens of others in one workspace. The conversation belongs to you, not to a vendor: every model you switch to reads the whole thread so far, so an outage at Perplexity is a model change, not a lost afternoon.
Memory
Your memory stays yours
Custom context, saved prompts and agents live in your workspace, not inside one vendor's product. They work with whichever model is answering.
Auto
Or let Auto choose
Auto routes each prompt to the model best placed to answer it. A model that is failing is a model it stops choosing.
