## What you can do with Perplexity.

Perplexity provides web research and answer APIs that return information from online sources.

### Deliver a sourced account briefing before a sales meeting

Finn completes the public-company research and puts a usable briefing into the account record before the salesperson meets the buyer.

**Typically handled by:** Sales research analyst

**Starts when:** A target-account meeting is booked in the connected CRM.

#### What Finn handles

1. Read the meeting purpose and known account context from the CRM, then use Perplexity to research the company's current products, public priorities, and relevant official announcements.
2. Check the underlying sources, separate published facts from inferred discussion opportunities, and assemble the briefing with dates, links, and questions that remain unanswered.
3. Save the briefing in the connected account workspace, attach it to the CRM meeting, and send the salesperson the concise preparation note through connected email.

**The result:** The salesperson receives a current, source-linked account briefing recorded against the actual meeting.

### Complete a supplier comparison for a defined purchase

Finn researches the suppliers that fit a real purchasing brief and delivers a comparison the buyer can use without repeating the discovery work.

**Typically handled by:** Procurement research analyst

**Starts when:** A purchasing owner issues requirements for a new product or service.

#### What Finn handles

1. Read the accepted requirements and budget context from the connected purchasing record, then use Perplexity to locate relevant official supplier capabilities and commercial information.
2. Verify the material claims on supplier sources, compare each option against the same requirements, and mark custom-quote pricing or unavailable facts explicitly.
3. Deliver the comparison through the connected document tool, record the owner's selected next steps in purchasing, and create the accepted evaluation tasks in the connected project system.

**The result:** Purchasing receives a completed evidence-based comparison and recorded next steps for the chosen evaluation path.

### Maintain a useful competitor change briefing

Finn turns public competitor developments into a dated briefing and concrete internal updates without treating every announcement as a verified business result.

**Typically handled by:** Competitive intelligence analyst

**Starts when:** A scheduled review begins for the company's defined competitor set.

#### What Finn handles

1. Use Perplexity to find relevant recent product, pricing, and company announcements, then check the original sources and compare them with the connected prior research record.
2. Write a focused change briefing that distinguishes new facts, unchanged claims, and unanswered questions, linking each conclusion to dated evidence.
3. Deliver the briefing to the designated team, update the connected knowledge record, and create the product or sales follow-up tasks the responsible owner accepts.

**The result:** The team receives a current competitor-change record and assigned follow-up based on verified public developments.

### Complete the research packet for a new market decision

Finn researches a defined market question and delivers an evidence-linked decision packet with the limits of the available information made clear.

**Typically handled by:** Market research consultant

**Starts when:** Leadership requests research on a specific customer segment or geographic market.

#### What Finn handles

1. Read the business question and decision criteria from the connected project brief, then use Perplexity to identify relevant official statistics, market participants, and primary industry material.
2. Check definitions, dates, and geographic coverage, reconcile materially different figures, and explain which conclusions are supported and which still require direct customer research.
3. Save and deliver the final report through connected document and email tools, record leadership's decision or requested research, and create the accepted follow-up tasks.

**The result:** Leadership receives a completed research packet and a recorded decision path based on the available evidence.

### Produce a fact-checked research brief for an article

Finn completes the source collection and fact-checking work behind a content assignment and returns a brief the editor can use immediately.

**Typically handled by:** Editorial researcher

**Starts when:** An editor accepts an article topic in the connected content calendar.

#### What Finn handles

1. Read the audience and central question, use Perplexity to locate primary sources, and collect the specific evidence needed for the article's intended claims.
2. Check the original publications, preserve dates and context, and separate supported facts from disputed or unverified claims rather than repeating a generated answer as evidence.
3. Deliver the source-linked research brief in the connected writing workspace, update the content assignment, and resolve the editor's factual follow-up questions against the same sources.

**The result:** The editorial team receives a completed research brief with traceable facts and clearly identified gaps.

### Build a targeted event and partnership opportunity list

Finn researches opportunities that match a specific business goal and delivers an actionable shortlist with the next coordination work already recorded.

**Typically handled by:** Partnership development researcher

**Starts when:** A partnership owner defines a target audience, region, and business objective.

#### What Finn handles

1. Use Perplexity to find relevant official event and organization pages, then check current dates, participation routes, audience descriptions, and published eligibility requirements.
2. Compare the candidates with the brief, remove options that do not fit, and assemble a shortlist with evidence, contact routes, and unanswered commercial details.
3. Save the shortlist in the connected CRM or partnership workspace, record the owner's selected opportunities, and create the accepted outreach or application tasks in the connected project tool.

**The result:** The partnership team receives a verified shortlist and assigned next steps for the opportunities it chooses.
