Perplexity has announced major updates to its 'Computer' platform for enterprise users, following a meeting with business and finance leaders in New York City. The company introduced new integrations, including support for Microsoft Teams, where users can message Computer directly or add it to channels. Computer in Excel has entered beta as a native side panel, allowing analysts to request assistance without leaving their spreadsheets. The update also launches 'workflows,' pre-built task templates that bundle prompts, context, and output formats for repetitive enterprise processes.

Perplexity’s latest release adds data connectors for Snowflake and Databricks, enabling teams to query internal data securely without transferring it between systems. A new partnership with 1Password enhances identity security, allowing Computer to act on behalf of users while keeping credentials protected. The company also unveiled 'Computer for Professional Finance,' which integrates licensed data from providers such as Morningstar, PitchBook, Daloopa, and Carbon Arc to generate finance-specific deliverables.

Perplexity described these developments as part of a broader shift toward objective-based computing. Its 'Personal Computer' model aims to run continuously across devices, coordinating local files, apps, and web tasks for enterprise users.
