Perplexity has announced that Pro and Max users can now access premium market research sources directly within cited answers in Computer. The update expands the platform’s research capabilities by bringing data typically used by large enterprises, investors, and analysts into Perplexity’s workflow.
Key details from the announcement:
- Premium sources now available include CB Insights, PitchBook, and Statista.
- Access is limited to Pro and Max users.
- The sources appear directly in cited answers, making it easier to verify where information comes from.
- Perplexity positions this as making high-value market research more broadly accessible beyond Fortune 500 companies, venture capital firms, and researchers.
For small business owners and builders, this could reduce the time spent switching between research tools when validating markets, competitors, or industry trends. It also suggests Perplexity is moving further into professional-grade research workflows, not just general AI search.
