Still wondering? A few quick answers below.

Perplexity Computer for Professional Finance is a specialized version of Perplexity's agentic AI platform designed for financial analysts. It combines the platform's reasoning capabilities with licensed institutional data to automate complex research tasks. Unlike general search tools, it is built to handle high-stakes financial analysis by executing multi-step workflows across verified private and public data sources.

This version of Perplexity Computer integrates licensed data from several premium institutional providers, including Morningstar, PitchBook, Daloopa, and Carbon Arc. These integrations allow finance teams to query private databases for deal sourcing, equity research, and market analysis directly within the AI interface, supplementing the platform's standard access to real-time public web information and financial filings.

Perplexity ensures accuracy through a traceability system that links every generated figure and output directly to its primary source. Users can click on citations or hyperlinked numbers to open the underlying SEC filings, earnings transcripts, or market data pages. This allows analysts to verify calculations and data points against the original documentation used by the AI agent.

The platform includes 35 dedicated finance workflows designed to automate repetitive tasks performed by analysts. These pre-built agentic loops can generate company tearsheets, perform stock driver analysis, and conduct equity screenings. Users can also enter specific target criteria to receive screened company lists that explain why each business matches the search signals and criteria provided.

Perplexity Computer for Professional Finance is available for finance teams and professional analysts who require access to institutional data. While the platform is designed for professional use, specific access depends on having a subscription that supports licensed data integrations from providers like PitchBook and Morningstar. It is currently rolling out to enterprise and professional users on the platform.
