User turns sit in a gray pill aligned to the end. Assistant answers use Perplexity's serif at 16px. Assistant turns stack the `search` slot, the answer and the `actions` slot, capped at Perplexity's 42rem reading width.

| Prop | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `from` | | `"user"` or `"assistant"`. |
| `search` | | Rendered above the answer, usually a `PerplexitySearch`. |
| `actions` | | Below an answer, usually `PerplexityActions`. On a user turn it sits before the pill, usually `PerplexityUserActions`. |
