Perplexity seems to be working on the possibility of adding integrations with different data providers. Based on reverse engineering reports, there might be a new section in the settings called "Integrations." Additionally, there are traces of a connector called FactSet. FactSet is a data provider offering financial data and datasets for different companies. It seems that it might eventually be possible to access this data through Perplexity.
However, it's not clear yet whether this feature will be limited to enterprise accounts or if it will be widely available. Another important point is that the feature appears to be designed in a way that allows for multiple connectors, with FactSet potentially being just the first one. Overall, this could be a highly useful feature that significantly enhances what Perplexity can currently do.
Perplexity AI has gained traction as an AI-powered search engine, rapidly increasing its user base and revenues. It focuses on providing real-time answers using AI, positioning itself as a competitor to traditional search engines like Google. The integration of data providers like FactSet, which is known for offering extensive financial data and analytics, could further elevate Perplexity’s offerings. FactSet's solutions are widely used in the financial sector to support decision-making and workflow automation, making it a valuable addition to Perplexity's capabilities.
