Perplexity Brings its Multi-Model Computer Agent to Microsoft Teams Workspaces

May 4, 2026 · Updated May 12, 2026

Perplexity, an AI-powered answer engine, released its Perplexity Computer agent in the Microsoft Marketplace for Microsoft Teams. The system uses a Perplexity multi-model orchestration layer to route tasks across 20+ frontier models (the most capable AI systems available). It autonomously researches topics, analyzes data, and generates reports.

Model orchestration: 20+ frontier models
Third-party connectors: 400+ services
Key integrations: Salesforce, Notion, Snowflake, and more
Required accounts: Pro, Enterprise Pro, or Max
Core capabilities: Research, analysis, and document creation

This move expands Perplexity's footprint to the Microsoft ecosystem. While native assistants often prioritize internal data, this integration emphasizes Perplexity's agentic research and tool use across 400+ external connectors like Salesforce and Snowflake. It addresses context-switching, the cognitive cost of jumping between different apps to find information.

You can now add Perplexity Computer to Teams channels to automate workflows like status updates. The agent uses a GPT-5.5 default brain for multi-step reasoning. Access requires an active Perplexity Pro, Enterprise Pro, or Max subscription, with setup handled through the Microsoft Marketplace.

Still wondering? A few quick answers below.

Perplexity Computer is a general-purpose digital worker designed to go beyond standard chatbots. It uses an orchestration layer to route tasks across more than 20 different AI models. This allows it to perform multi-step research, analyze data from connected enterprise tools, and generate structured documents or reports autonomously in the background.

You can find and install Perplexity Computer directly through the Microsoft Marketplace. Once added to your workspace, you can interact with the agent through chat in Microsoft Teams. It can be messaged directly for individual tasks or pulled into specific channels to assist with team-wide research, analysis, and document creation workflows.

To use the Perplexity Computer integration within Microsoft Teams, you must have an active paid subscription. Supported tiers include Perplexity Pro, Enterprise Pro, or the Max account level. Users without these accounts will need to sign up through the Perplexity website before they can access the agent's capabilities within their Teams workspace.

Perplexity Computer integrates with thousands of external services to pull in data and take action from a single interface. Key supported tools include Salesforce, Notion, Google Analytics, and Snowflake. These connectors allow the agent to access relevant information from your existing software stack to inform its research, analysis, and automated report generation.

Within the Teams environment, Perplexity Computer can research complex topics, analyze data, and generate structured documents like status updates or summaries. It is designed to reduce context-switching by allowing knowledge workers and analysts to run these workflows directly in their primary communication hub rather than moving between multiple separate research and reporting tools.
