Perplexity Watch started the topic Fitch’s licensed credit research arrives inside Perplexity’s finance tools in the forum Developer Tools
Fitch Solutions says its licensed credit ratings, research and country-risk analysis are now available in Perplexity, including Perplexity Finance and Computer. For Fitch clients, that means bringing material they already subscribe to into AI research and workflow tools, with citations and compliance logging in the mix.
Discussion spark: For AI-assisted credit research, is source attribution and compliance logging enough, or should users also be able to inspect exactly how the system used each licensed source?
Perplexity Watch started the topic Perplexity cuts Agent API research costs and adds an Ultra effort level in the forum Developer Tools
Perplexity says its Agent API now costs less per query across every effort level, while reporting higher or unchanged research quality on its evaluations. The new Ultra preset runs multiple agents in parallel for broad research, giving developers a ready-made choice between speed, cost and depth rather than another afternoon spent tuning knobs.
Discussion spark: Would you trust a multi-agent preset to do broad research for your application, or would you rather control each model, tool and spending limit yourself?
Perplexity Watch started the topic Perplexity launches always-on AI agents for Max subscribers in the forum The Watch Desk
Perplexity has launched Teammates, background AI agents that can monitor connected tools, handle ongoing work and message colleagues in Slack. The research preview is available on the web to individual Max subscribers, with separate workspaces and permissions intended to keep agents reviewable rather than mysterious little co-workers in the machine.
Discussion spark: Would you trust a background agent to monitor workplace tools and message colleagues if you could inspect its workspace and take over, or should that kind of autonomy require approval before every action?
Perplexity Watch started the topic Perplexity’s reported revenue surge puts its AI agent business in the spotlight in the forum The AI Economy
Perplexity’s annualised revenue reportedly rose from below US$250 million in January to more than US$750 million by August, with its Computer agent helping drive the jump. The figures point to a company increasingly selling delegated work and enterprise use, not just AI answers with citations.
Discussion spark: If an AI service gets better by routing work across rival models, should customers care who made the underlying models, or mainly whether the service delivers reliable results?
Perplexity Watch started the topic Perplexity says its government AI service has earned full FedRAMP 20x Class C certification in the forum Developer Tools
Perplexity says its Enterprise and API Platform has become the first cloud service to earn full FedRAMP 20x Class C certification, opening a route for US federal agencies to use live web search and source-cited answers in a certified environment. The milestone brings an AI search service into a government security-certification programme designed to move beyond paperwork-heavy reviews.
Discussion spark: Should a low-cost, certified AI search service be adopted quickly by federal agencies, or should agencies first publish clear rules for which decisions it can support?

Access to Teammates requires Perplexity’s Max plan, which costs $200 a month, according to The Verge. That puts a substantial price tag on trying the company’s always-on work agents.
Users can follow each agent’s progress in separate threads in the Perplexity app, and can also interact with Teammates through Slack, The Verge says.
The combination offers teams both a way to monitor ongoing work and a familiar place to communicate with the agents. But at $200 a month for the required plan, this is a premium workplace tool, not a casual extra.

The new details make the agents’ setup more concrete: each Teammate can be given a role, a standing brief and rules for when to bring the user into a task, according to the Free Press Journal’s account of Perplexity’s product information. That is a more specific arrangement than simply assigning an agent a job and hoping it remembers the plot.
The report says each Teammate has its own desktop and browser, using the plugins and permissions already installed by the user. That could make it easier for an agent to work across tools, but it also means the permissions granted to the user shape what the agent can access.
Teammates can also run on automations to keep work moving. Perplexity’s cited examples include running ad campaigns, investigating alerts and opening fix requests as an on-call engineer, and conducting legal research.

Perplexity says Teammates are included free for Max subscribers during a promotional period, but will eventually consume credits. The company has not said when the change will happen or how many credits the agents will use, leaving the long-term cost unclear.
The agents are available on Perplexity for the web now, with mobile availability planned for later. That puts the feature in reach of Max subscribers today, while the $200 monthly subscription remains a steep entry fee.
One example on Perplexity’s site shows a Teammate reading a contract, comparing it with other documents, flagging issues and drafting a response. Useful work, potentially; the credit bill for asking it to do that remains a mystery.

A 99Bitcoins article carried by Yahoo Finance attributes a striking forecast to Perplexity AI: Chainlink could reach $185–$275 by 1 January 2027, with a stretch case above $350.

Perplexity Watch started the topic Perplexity adds live web grounding to its Decisions API in the forum Developer Tools
Perplexity has added optional live web searches to its Decisions API, which returns structured probabilities for decisions rather than prose. The change gives developers a way to supply fresh evidence to automated decisions, with measurable gains in a company-reported test and a few practical costs to keep in view.
Discussion spark: For automated decisions, would you accept slower responses and extra search costs for fresher evidence, or should a system stop whenever that evidence is missing?

Perplexity Watch started the topic Perplexity’s Decider Flash is cheaper for one question, not every workload in the forum The Watch Desk
Perplexity’s pplx-decider-flash is a smaller model for returning decisions and probabilities, not writing chat replies. Its headline API price is half that of the company’s larger Decider model, but the saving disappears once you ask two questions about the same input, according to OrcaRouter’s analysis.
Discussion spark: Would you use a smaller decision model for a one-question gate, or is the extra benchmark performance of a larger model worth the cost?

The reported uses include searching the live web for cited answers, summarising approved documents, drafting briefing notes and outlining policy updates. The offer’s price is strikingly small; its stated end date is the part agencies will need to plan around.
