Wiley and Perplexity partner to deliver smarter study tools

Perplexity has announced a major partnership with global academic publisher Wiley to integrate its answer engine with Wiley’s extensive library of scientific, technical, and medical learning materials.

The collaboration is designed to streamline access to trusted curriculum content, delivering a more engaging and efficient learning experience for students and educators alike.

Through an institution’s Enterprise Pro subscription, students can now access assigned Wiley materials directly within Perplexity.

This removes the need to switch between platforms, enabling students to ask questions about textbook content, receive tailored explanations, and explore real-time examples from across the web—all in one place.

The integration supports Gen Z learning preferences by offering features such as custom study guides, level-appropriate explanations, and context that links core concepts to real-world applications.

Educators will benefit from the ability to create lesson plans, tailor curriculum to current events, and generate customised learning materials with minimal effort. Institutions gain a competitive edge in education technology, while improving resource efficiency and academic outcomes.

The partnership also promotes critical AI literacy—a growing priority in classrooms. By offering students a structured environment in which to interact with AI tools and academic content, the integration supports responsible use of AI.

It emphasises information quality, proper attribution, and encourages students to develop essential critical thinking skills. Administrators interested in integrating Perplexity with Wiley can contact their Wiley representative to authorise the connection.

Once enabled, students gain seamless access to academic materials directly within the Perplexity platform.
