Perplexity Computer Connects to 20+ New Licensed Finance Data Sources
Perplexity Computer now connects to more than 20 licensed finance and market-data sources, letting subscribers with existing data licenses query that data in plain language directly inside their agent workflows.
Details
- Highlighted sources:
- Dun & Bradstreet — commercial identity data covering 650M+ entities, enabling credit file lookups and risk scoring
- Guidepoint — an expert network with 120,000+ interview transcripts for primary-source market research
- IBISWorld — industry benchmarks and analyst-verified trends across thousands of sectors
- Full list of new connectors (20+): Allium, AlphaCreek, AngelList, Base by Coinbase, Canary Data, Chronograph, Coinbase, Crunchbase, Flanks, Grata (Datasite), Interactive Brokers, MT Newswires, Octus, OpenSea, Papermark, Public.com, Quartr, Stocktwits, Wisesheets, and Zacks Research
- What it enables: Querying licensed data in plain language without separate logins, source-attributed figures, integration into email workflows, portfolio analysis, comp sets, financial modeling, and cross-dataset reconciliation
- Cost structure: No separate data contracts with Perplexity — customers authenticate using their own existing licenses with each provider
- Availability: Perplexity Pro, Max, and Enterprise users with eligible partner licenses
- Quote: “Computer reconstructs fewer answers from the open web when it can access more of a firm’s licensed and internal context.”
What happened next
This expands Perplexity Computer’s positioning as an agent for finance and investment professionals, following its original February 2026 launch. By plugging directly into data providers firms already pay for, Perplexity is betting that connecting existing licensed data — rather than reconstructing facts from public web sources — will be the differentiator for professional-grade financial research agents.
