By pairing their AI platform with the rich data and deep domain expertise behind our trusted financial system of intelligence, we’re empowering customers to seamlessly execute complex tasks to successfully run and grow their businesses.”
“Intuit has spent decades making financial products people can actually run a business on, which is why millions of business owners trust them to run their businesses,” said Dmitry Shevelenko, Chief Business Officer at Perplexity. “Those businesses can now put that expertise and intelligence to work for them in Perplexity Computer, going from research and answers to securely executing financial actions in one seamless workflow.”
The partnership uses MCP connectors to enable secure access to QuickBooks and Mailchimp within Perplexity Computer workflows for seamless execution of business tasks. This unified, frictionless experience saves businesses valuable time, so they can focus on what matters most: growing their business. Through the power of the Intuit business platform and Perplexity Computer, new capabilities include managing cash flow by following up on overdue invoices, setting up recurring invoices, and sending payment links; managing workforce needs by retrieving pay slips and accessing payroll employee information; and improving marketing campaigns by tracking performance and identifying high-impact actions that drive revenue.
