Perplexity Computer — an AI agent that operates your computer to complete real work.
Perplexity Computer is an agentic AI assistant that uses your computer to complete tasks — booking travel, filling out forms, researching and reporting. DeployLabs deploys Perplexity Computer as a business agent, configured for your workflows and connected to your tools.
What Perplexity Computer brings to your operations.
Computer Operating Agent
Perplexity Computer is a general-purpose digital worker that operates the same interfaces you do — clicking, typing, browsing, and completing tasks in your browser and desktop applications. It handles multi-step workflows autonomously.
Real-Time Web Search
Perplexity Computer searches the live web for every task — current news, competitor data, market research, product listings. Research tasks are completed with sourced, traceable results delivered directly to your workflow.
Multi-Agent Orchestration
Perplexity Computer runs sub-agents for specialized tasks — deep research with Gemini, image generation with Nano Banana, video creation with Veo, and fast queries with Grok. DeployLabs configures this orchestration for your specific business processes.
Desktop Integration
Perplexity Computer operates your Mac Mini or cloud desktop to complete tasks. DeployLabs integrates it with your existing tools, calendars, email, CRM, and internal systems — turning it from a consumer product into a deployable business agent.
The platform gives you the foundation. We build the engine.

Three phases. No templates. No shortcuts.
Assess
We audit your current workflows and identify where a computer-operating AI agent creates the most value. We map which tasks Perplexity Computer should handle and which require human oversight.
1–2 weeksBuild
Perplexity Computer is configured for your business context, connected to your tools and systems, and scoped to specific task types. Agent outputs are routed to your existing workflows with verification checkpoints.
4–6 weeksOperate
Post-launch monitoring tracks task completion rates, error rates, and cost efficiency. Monthly reviews expand agent coverage, refine verification logic, and add new workflow automations as your business evolves.

Enterprise Data Handling
Perplexity Enterprise provides SOC 2 compliance, no-training guarantees, and configurable data retention. Your queries and results are not used to train Perplexity's models under enterprise agreements.
SOC 2 · No-Training Guarantee · Data Retention PoliciesCitation Source Verification
Every Perplexity answer cites its sources by URL. DeployLabs adds a verification layer — checking that cited sources are live, relevant, and appropriate for the query before answers are delivered to end users.
Source Verification · Content Filtering · Quality GatesQuery Scoping and Access Control
Research agents are scoped to appropriate data sources and topic areas. DeployLabs configures query filters so agents do not pull irrelevant or inappropriate content into business research outputs.
Query Filtering · Topic Scoping · Access GovernanceCanadian Data Residency
Perplexity Enterprise supports data residency configurations. For Canadian businesses with sovereignty requirements, deployments can be scoped to appropriate data regions.

How is Perplexity different from a regular search engine?
A search engine returns links — you read and synthesize. Perplexity returns synthesized answers with citations. For business research, this means your team gets a direct answer with traceable sources, not a list of URLs to click through. For high-volume research operations — competitive intelligence, due diligence, market analysis — this saves significant time. The citations also mean every insight is verifiable and citable.
What does a Perplexity research agent cost?
The AI Workflow Assessment is $2,500. Perplexity research agent configuration and deployment runs $7,500 to $15,000 per agent. Monthly optimization retainers range from $2,000 to $5,000. Perplexity API costs are separate — Sonar Pro is approximately $5 per million tokens, making high-volume research cost-effective.
Can Perplexity agents access our internal knowledge base?
Yes. Perplexity's Agent API supports tool use and external data connections. DeployLabs builds connectors between Perplexity and your internal knowledge bases, document management systems, and CRM data — so agents can answer questions using both live web research and your internal proprietary information.
How accurate are Perplexity's citations?
Perplexity cites sources with approximately 94% accuracy in our testing — meaning cited URLs are typically live, relevant, and support the stated claim. No AI research tool is 100% accurate. DeployLabs adds a verification layer for production deployments and configures confidence thresholds that route uncertain answers to human review.
Can Perplexity be used alongside Claude or ChatGPT?
Yes — and this is the most common DeployLabs configuration. Perplexity handles real-time research and competitive intelligence. Claude or ChatGPT handle reasoning, content generation, and document production. The research outputs from Perplexity feed into the generation workflows of your other AI systems. Multi-model architectures outperform single-model deployments for complex operations.
