Why it matters
A search integration can reduce setup friction and give Perplexity distribution through Hermes. The key open point is the meaning of "free": Nous's post promises availability across Portal tiers, while its pricing page describes hosted tools as a paid-plan benefit.
Nous Research said on September 24th that Perplexity's Fast Search is available inside Hermes Agent and free for all Nous Portal tiers. The announcement gives Hermes users another managed web-search option, while leaving a key pricing detail unclear: what "free for all tiers" means for Portal's $0 plan.
