Perplexity adds Finance Search to the Agent API
The release matters because it pushes agent platforms beyond generic web search into domain-specific data retrieval. For financial analysis, research automation, and decision support, structured finance search gives agents more reliable inputs than scraping ad hoc webpages or relying on loosely grounded summaries.
