Announcing premium sources

Perplexity has introduced Premium Sources within its Computer research workflow, providing access to select paywalled data from Statista, CB Insights, and PitchBook for tasks such as market sizing, competitive analysis, investment research, and company financial assessment. Computer automatically selects relevant sources for queries and cites each data point to its original provider, aiming to make institutional-grade information more accessible without separate enterprise contracts or integrations. PitchBook contributes private-market, credit, lending, and M&A intelligence; CB Insights provides more than 8,000 reports on startups and innovation; and Statista supplies market-sizing data, consumer insights, and industry forecasts. The service is intended for executive-level research questions, including PESTEL analyses, competitor mapping, and technology-adoption assessments, while Perplexity plans to add healthcare, legal, and potentially premium news sources.
