Perplexity

Generate PDFs from any URL

Use the `generate_pdf` tool to instantly convert a live website into a portable PDF document. Cascade reads the target URL and outputs a single, clean file you can share or archive. You don't need multiple prompts for this. Just give Cascade the link, and it handles the entire rendering process from start to finish.

Take multi-resolution screenshots

Need to audit a page across different devices? The `take_screenshot` tool offers basic PNG captures, but you can also run `take_full_page_screenshot` for long scrolling pages. For mobile views, use `take_mobile_screenshot`; high detail requires `take_retina_screenshot`. Cascade manages this sequence effortlessly. You set the goal—'Check this page on iPhone and generate a full-page PDF'—and it runs all three actions automatically.

Extract web metadata

The `get_metadata` tool pulls core data points from a URL, giving you context before the visual audit starts. This is useful for checking page titles or source information without taking any pictures. This isn't just a quick check; Cascade uses this initial data to inform how it structures the final PDF output, making your content analysis much tighter.
