Computer Connects to 20+ New Licensed Finance Data Sources

What changed

Source summary

Perplexity's Computer agent now integrates with more than 20 licensed financial data providers, including Dun & Bradstreet, Guidepoint, and IBISWorld, spanning public equities, private markets, portfolio monitoring, and credit research. Finance professionals can query their existing paid data subscriptions in plain language through Computer, including via email-based workflows, instead of logging into each source separately.

Why it matters to your work

Practical interpretation

Mainly useful for finance and research professionals who already pay for services like Dun & Bradstreet or IBISWorld — you can now ask Perplexity's Computer agent plain-English questions across those subscriptions instead of logging into each one separately, saving time on company and market research.

When this could help

Worth setting up if your team already holds licences for any of the supported sources and currently switches between those platforms and Perplexity for research — this unifies the workflow.

Perplexity Computer now connects to 20+ licensed finance data sources — including Dun & Bradstreet (private company credit files, corporate hierarchies), Guidepoint (expert interview transcripts), and IBISWorld (industry benchmarks and forecasts) — so analysts can ask questions in plain language and get answers that trace back to source records. No separate Perplexity data contract is needed; users authenticate with their own existing licences.

How to get started

1. Authenticate your existing data-source licences via connectors in Perplexity, then ask questions in plain language. Every figure traces to its source record.

SCALA suggested workflow

1. Unified research workflow

   Instead of switching between D&B, IBISWorld, and public web searches, ask Perplexity Computer a single question and let it pull from all connected sources at once.

What to check

• Users need their own licence with each data partner — Perplexity does not bundle or resell the data. Source ↗
• Pricing for Perplexity itself is not stated. Connector coverage and features are described mainly by the partners' own marketing claims. Source ↗
